purplemonkey 1 Posted August 8, 2006 Hi everyone! I'm new here. My name is Virginia and I'll be attending the seminar on August 24, 2006 and hope to get the lapband. I was obese from childhood through junior high and have been morbidly obese ever since, with no luck with any diet plan. I remember so vividly being in first grade and being weighed in the nurses office in front of everyone. I weighed 140 lbs then and have always thought what a hoot it would be to get down to my first grade weight. LOL Today, I'm 37 years old and have a BMI index of 64, with problems of sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Being new to this, and knowing that I will likely find a lot of this out at the seminar, I was wondering if anyone has used NJ PLUS insurance and how difficult it is to get approved. Now that I know this group is here I will definitely visit daily and would love to hear from anyone wanting to write me here or at my personal email: vcarozzolo@yahoo.com Thank you!
