DeeDee1908 0 Posted February 28, 2009 I wanted to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Dee and I am 27, I weigh 255, I've been told since I was 15 that I'm 5'9" however my new doctor has pointed out to me that that is a sham as I am only 5'7". (I still tell most people that I'm 5'9"). I have PCOS and honestly speaking I am sick and tired of the person I see in the mirror. The woman looking back at me is not the person I see in my head. I was always what people would refer to as thick, I was nickname thunder thighs, but being younger and have a tiny waist and being a size five that worked. Now I float somewhere between sizes 20-16, depending on the day and the designer I guess. My mom have been pushing and researching lap band for almost a year now on my bwhalf and I have finally decided to look into it myself. I have called my insurance and I am covered they told me the steps to take after asking my weight and height. As I am new to GA I have to find a PCP I think or maybe I can just go straight to the surgeon so that I can start my journey officially. I have signed up for a seminar so I guess now I'm just waiting. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted on my progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
