Hi everyone!

My name is Jess, I'm 26 years old, mother of two. I've recently been looking into getting consulted for the lapband surgery. I've been overweight nearly my entire life. I'm 5'3'' and my highest weight was 245lbs in 2007. I stayed at that weight for at least 2 years before attempting to lose it. I managed to get down to 180 by July 2010 - That's the smallest I had been in a very long time.

I got pregnant with my youngest child and went back up to 240. I worked out again for months and got down to the low 190s ..but I've been bouncing between 195-210 for the past few months even with diet and exercise.

My husbands insurance kicked in at Ford and they say the lap band surgery is covered but I har to have a Bmi of 40.. Mine isn't quite 38 (i current weigh 208lbs). So I have set up an appointment with a doctor and have her supervise me for 6 months on a weightless program. I'm hoping to be seen some time this week.

Good luck! I'm not banded yet but I hope to be next year.

Don't hesitate to do this for yourself. It's the very best decision I EVER made!
