Hey yall, my name is krystal! I just found this place about 10 min. ago and it is just what I am looking for! I have struggled with my weight all of my life and have been obese for about 10 years. I am only 28 years old. I am ready for a change. I had considered gastric bypass and was approved about 4 years ago. I did not have the surgery because one week before my date the surgeon was put under investigation. I took this as a sign and went on my merry way (weigh). Four years and some pounds later (in the wrong direction), I decided to give banding a try. :clap2: The only thing is I am now on a different insurance, and I don't think that they will approve this. I am determined though and will do whatever I have to to raise the money . I am close to 200 lbs overweight. I dont know how it got this bad. I am ready for a step in the right direction. For myself and my family. I am soooo looking forward to being an acive participant on this site!

I'm fairly new here too and I myself had fought with my insurance company and gave up and now I'm self paying In Monterrey Mexico.

I think it all boils down to how bad we want to get rid of this life altering mess called fat. I want mine gone yesterday. My date is July 10 for surgery.

There are lots more people who know LOTS more than I do so you can ask them questions. I do know they're are all kind of financing companies that will finance at low interst rates for health reasons. Just ask.

Good luck and I think you've come to the right place.

Welcome to LBT both of you!

Good luck on the insurance fight Krystal. I have to admit to loving insurance companies. Quick to take the cash, so slow to give any out. Hmm that sounds remarkably like a protection racket...

Good luck!
