Just getting started

Started on this journey alone thinking no one would be supportive. I never get support on anything I do. Also I never do anything for myself ever. So when I finally told my husband I'm researching lapband surgery, I want to do it and we have very favorable insurance for lapbanding surgery. I was shocked when he said "If it will make you happy and it is something you want to do, go ahead." So I kept going. Went for all the tests, got my PCP to write a letter for me to my insurance company. Thougt for sure they were going to tell me I was too healthy. No high blood pressure, diabetes, no sleep apnea. My insurance company got all my paprwork on Tuesday and Friday my doctor called to tell me I was approved. He said I thought for sure they would deny you once but because of your Mother's medical background they approved you. Plus I was only 37.5 BMI and 45 years old. My insurance told me because of my Mother's medical background and my PCPs letter to them I was approved. I arranged to have surgery 1/21/09.
