Iatetheskinnyme 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Hey Hey Everyone! I came to this site a year ago and looked around. Then I stopped thinkin about getting banded. In that time found out my mom has to have a liver transplant due to a gene she carries which causes Alpha 1 Antitripsyn. :tt1: She met with her transplant doc last week and he told her if her children were obsese that we were likely to bring it out in us. :wub: He then recommended the LapBand for her to lose weight. So she calls me and wants me to research it for her...so here I am again.. Although this time....Im READY to get banded myself. :thumbup:Im still reading all the threads and getting as much info. Im calling insurance again next week. But if I remember right...they said...I had to have two co-morbidities, six months of supervized diet and a bmi higher than 39...I think it was 39. Anyways...last time I got as far as asking my doc if I had two co morbidities and we wondered in my PCOS counted. Soooo anyways I know Im long winded. LOL!:tt2: Ok...alittle about me.. I have two daugheters...Lucy and Emma. I am 28. I weigh 310. My hihgest being 320. :thumbup: I have PCOS and its really screwed with me. Im on the Met to keep stuff kinda under control. We are trying to have a 3rd baby and actually seen a RE..but I havent started now...so I feel like its Gods way of saying to wait...so we shall see on that front. Im wondering with my insurance if I got preggers now IF it would still count twoards insurance with the 6 mth diet plan...I need to find that out. Ok...whew Im annoying myself.. Anyways....Hello to all....hope to get to know all you saucy folks and congrats on your bands or the ones like me who are band wannabes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
