mrsbdd 0 Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Hi all, I'm new :blushing: I have 2 kids, 8 mos and almost 3 and something in me changed after having the kids. I used to be ok being heavier but with all the aches and pains since having them I fear I won't be around to really enjoy them so, I started researching lap-band. I was pretty athletic years ago but I was still heavy, I've been walking and paying lots of attention to my diet and the weight is still creeping on. We're an army family and I have concerns about tricare since I don't have co-morbidities listed on the tricare website, but I do suffer from depression. I'm 29, 5 ft even and 260lbs, per the MetLife chart I should be 113-126, I honestly don't want to EVER be that thin. I just don't think I'm built that way, when I was younger and was that weight, I looked sickly LOL Anywho, this is me Edited October 25, 2010 by mrsbdd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humming Bird 275 Posted October 25, 2010 Hi and welcome to LBT. There are other bandsters here that are Army wives. I think most insurances that cover lapband at all would cover you even without co-morbidities bacause your BMI is over 40. Search around the site and you will find others that used that ins. and that share your Army wife background. Good luck. I wish you the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
