My family physician said I qualify, and Insurance said that my plan covered 100% of the surgery. I'm going to a seminar to check this out more.

I'm 30. i'm 5'5", 283 lbs, highest weight ever. I'm a mom and i've had problems with food and weight since I was 5. I am now to the point where I don't trust myself to even start on any more diets or eating right b/c I don't trust myself to stick with it. I exercise and some weeks I even go to the gym 3-4 x's but still I just can't get eating under control. I thought lap Band or surgery would be a cop out but now I just see it as the help I need. I have Aetna insurance and would take any amount of advice that anyone can offer so that I can apply for this surgery and get it. I don't have diabetes or high bp, just light sleep apnea and depression/anxiety. Any pointers? I guess i'm just going to call my insurance up and say I want to start the process. I have been under weight monitoring by my doctor for atleast 2 years, every 3 months. Thank you, in advance, for any advice, tips or words of wisdom you may have.

I am pro-life and would have a baby if I were raped b/c I believe it is life. However, I do not hold it against my friends who have had abortions, and 4 of my very close friends have had them. Thankfully I had a man to marry and hold fast to when we got pregnant. But all in all i believe it is an ill of society, and reminds me of this quote by Mattie Brinkerhoff in 1869:
"When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we may safely conclude that there is something wrong in society - so when a woman destroys the life of her unborn child, it is an evidence that either by education or circumstances she has been greatly wronged."
