Don't let those assholes dictate the direction your life will go in. Maybe its some kind of test. I have been following what you write and am very inspired by you. You look great and have come so far and imagine how nice it will be to have the band to help you later on. Don' give up.

Ok, I guess its time to get serious and write it down because it's real. I am morbidly obese and have tried everything and need help. So lap band land get ready I'm on my way. I keep having mixed feelings but I have really decided that this is what I need to do to get my health and my life back. I have managed to gain 15 more pounds since my first post. Oh, I will definately get approved by my insurance company. Good job. I have done all my testing except for cardio stress and echo, which are both scheduled for March 8th. I'm hoping to be approved soon after that. My wonderful loving husband is a little scared about me having surgery but I want to spend a lot more time with him so this is the way to go. I will try to post often. Again thanks to all for sharing your experiences. LIL

I am just now going through the testing phase before banding and really enjoy reading your blogs. It sounds like your doing really well. Hang in there and keep on blogging. LIL

Thank you all for all your honest sharing. I have not yet been banded, but have had my initial consult with the surgeon. I want to diet now but don't know if that is smart to do at this point since I have not yet gotten approval from the insurance company. I am at about 260 now and can get down to about 230 but never below. At 5'4 inches will that be a number that is high enough to get banded. Any input about this would be appreciated. Thank you.
