harringm13 2 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) I'm just at the accepted BMI for insurance coverage and I am hoping to start my journey just as most of you already have. I am so amazed at the outcomes and am so happy for all of you. I hope to be just as successful one day. I know what it's like having to struggle with weight my entire life and am hoping someday with the help of the lapband I can actually reach my life long goal of 135 pounds. It's just been so long and for once I don't want my weight to be an issue always haunting me in the background affecting everything I do or my personality. I want to be free. I have been able to lose a lot from working out but it never stays off and I seem to put more back on when I do regain. You guys have provided me with a newfound hope and I prey I will be able to go through with this too. lve Lyrick Edited October 22, 2010 by harringm13 typos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harringm13 2 Posted October 22, 2010 Really?! Let's keep in touch and update each other's progress...if you want to of course. What's your starting weight? What process have you been through already? I'm just at 40 BMI and have to attend the lapband orientation 10/28. I want this soo bad. My name is Melissa btw, thank you so much for your reply:smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
