The start of a new life

Well I have done a lot of research over the past 2 years and I am finally ready. I have spoken to the UNC rep about getting me started and I was advised that I will hear something back from a Case Manager in 5-7 business days. I am kind of nervous about being approved for the Lap-Band. I am 5'6 weighing 264 with a BMI of 42.6, and 100lbs overweight, but I dont have any other health conditions. I have struggled with my weight all my life, and have made many efforts to lose weight but all were short-term results. I have medical documentation by my former Physician from another companies insurance that I worked for, for weight loss but they are not cnsistant dates. I am now with another Physician. I am tired of the up and down weight. I pray that this comes through for me. Any feeback for me please let me know. I will have my before big girl pictures on here very soon. :cool2: Thank you for reading. :)
