I have always remembered having a weight issue..I had three very hard pregnanices followed by three c sections . High Risk the whole way. With weight gains with all three.. I would diet and lose and the gain it right back over and over.. I never felt sucessful. My Husband is the best man on the planet convices me everyday he loves me just like I am...But I knew he secrectly wants a thinner wife...My Grandmother Mrs. Cranky will call her made sure that every time she saw me see made a point to said something about my weight.. One day she commented about it.. I got really mad at her said Grandma I know that I am over weight I have doctors with papers to prove that I am overweight. I am a Papered obesity specalist...Please don't bring it up again. My mom who is overweight herself and working on it said maybe we should go check out the Lap band.. i said okay nothing else has worked I'll give it a try.So of to the seminar we went. I was impressed because the person leading the seminar was Katie she had a lapband and had lost like 1/2 her body weight. She really spent time with us telling us about the procedure and her life now..She took the insurance information for both of us and called us back. My mom is a nurse so hers had to be performed at the hospital where she working.. She is still in the thinking process..I on the other hand was 100% covered at the time.. So I set up my first appointment , The First appointment I realized how great the staff was and how helpful Everyone that works there  is just amazing...And My husband change jobs during the process and insurance and the staff was agressive through that and helpful. I couldn't have done it without them.They must of did there job well because Last Tuesday I got my lap band..I am happy I did it but I know that it's just a tool. I know when ,I will be successful, My name and weight will not be a mentioned in the same sentence. I can't wait for the day,.,,,
