I have battled weight for as long as I can remember. The last 6 years have been the most difficult. Marriage and 3 children seem to have increased my weight quicker than ever. I am determined to turn this around! In January of 08 I began researching LapBand. I began to proceed with the surgery and found out that I was expecting my 3rd child. Three months after her birth I went through the testing and am currently at my last visit of 6 months of nutritional counseling. I encountered some billing problems and am crossing my fingers that the insurance co. will not deny the surgery because of those issues. At my highest I weighed 306 and have lost apx 20 lbs. (I TRY not to weight except at the docs office). I am anxious about the surgery but leary that it could fall through. And I am in a bit of a time constraint. My hubbys insurance comes due in November.. so if they change providers or eliminate theses surgeries I will not be able to have the surgery, I am trying to stay positive and if I am unable to have the surgery I plan on continuing my excercise routine and "diet" plan.
