Taking it one step at a time...



Recommended Posts

Hey yall,

My name is Tori. I am a wife and a mother of 3 wonderful and very active kids. I now weigh more than I ever have in my entire life, and nothing has worked to lose the weight. So, I said a prayer, and made an appointment with a doctor in Houston, to discuss having the lap band surgery done. I like everything I have read about it so far, and they said that my insurance does have the benifit for the surgery ( not 100% sure exactly what that means, but the lady on the phone said it was a good thing). I am just gonna take this thing one step at a time and hopefully God will lead me where he wants me to be. I have a wonderful family, and I wanna be around for a long long time to enjoy them, so I am going to do whatever has to be done to get healthier and stay that way. Thanks for reading. Take care and God Bless.:smile2:

Tori, what she was telling you is that your insurance covers your surgery. Often times insurance will have a co-pay for example mine was 85/15. This meant my insurance paid all but $500.00. Pray. God will reveal to you what His plan is. That is just what I did. In my life God moved quickly..lol at the time I felt like it was going slowly, but it was really rather quickly. Be at Peace and know that God is in control...I am looking forward to reading about your successes..

Thanks Jillian. I appreciate your response. That is basically what I am doing, praying and putting it all in God's hands. He will open doors where he sees fit, and close them too. Good luck to you and hope to read more from you later.:)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
