mjg12 0 Posted December 26, 2008 I can't wait for the next three weeks, I am so ready to start the process, at 247 lbs, 5' 2", I am so uncomfortable. And, I very rarely over eat! So, again, I am looking forward to sharing the journey with the '09 bandsters! :tongue2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjg12 0 Posted December 26, 2008 Are you self pay? No, I am covered Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Had to wait since July and go through the steps, but it was worth it. I have sleep apnea and depression so it was deemed medically necessary. Are you self pay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
