FryRN 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Hi all!!! I am Cyndi in (near) Atlanta, if you live in Atlanta, you know what I mean. I am just starting to look into the possibility of this. I have been up and down all my life. Highest weight with my last pregnancy was 300 5 1/2 years ago. Lowest adult weight 163, 3 years ago. Lost 112 lbs on WW, had lower body lift, ran the Disney half marathon and then proceeded to gain all but about 15 lbs back. Have tried to get back into WW but it just isn't happening. BCBS this year for me states covers "bariatric services", whether this means GB or LapBand or just help with dieting remains to be seen. I am here to find out what I can, good and bad.:help: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtlSpeedy 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Welcome Fryn! I am on my way to getting the lap band surgery. Good luck! We usually keep posting on the "newbie from GA thread" Jump on and introduce yourself to all the Georgians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
citygirl4616 2 Posted January 6, 2008 Hi FryRn....Welcome! I am from around Atl. too, and getting my surgery on 1/10 at Dekalb Medical Center in Decatur, with Dr. Steinberg. My insurance (Coventry) doesn't cover lap-band, so I am self-pay. Keep checking out the various boards. You can probably get all of your questions about the procedure, and pre-op, and post-op lifestyles right here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
