Ok..so here I go beginning my journey with weight loss for the umtenth milionth time! I have had my consult with my doctor and am now waiting to schedule the first of several appointments. The next 3 months or so will be really difficult but very exciting. I have tried everything for weight loss! was even successful a few times! But..it always "found" it's way back..and then some! So, with that said-I decided to start researching the Lap Band. My dad is having it done soon and my mom...so atleast I will have them to ask questions to! I am just afraid my insurance will not pay for it as I am righ ton that BMI "cusp"...but I will do everything I need to and can to make it work! Needless to say, my hubby is not so thrilled. He thinks "you can do it with diet and excercise"..what world is he living in! I am hoping he comes around! Anyone out there in my boat? Thanks to all

i hear ya! I had my first appt on 10/1/09 and afterwards I said "where do I sign up"! but it is a process.....I suppose patience is a virtue when you are ready to make that change for YOU! I love love taking care of everyone else...but this is for ME! keep that in mind and we will make it happen! Good luck

Keep moving! I am just starting the process and need to get myself back to the gym and taking care of ME ME ME! Stay positive and know you can do it! :thumbup:

Thanks! I am excited..I know I can do it! It is hard no matter what and I know I will feel much better being to get to the gym and such! I'm just scared........I just got all of the "requirements" from my health insurance and boy my head is spinning! guess I'd better get reading!
