New to EVERYTHING

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

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.
