hello, i am scheduled for a lapband seminar in a few weeks, i am anxious to get all of this going. However....i emailed Anthem, who i am insured with through my workplace, and asked if they cover lapband and the process i need to go through. they responded and simply put "your policy does not cover obesity related operations." that was it. it was like a smack in the face. what do i do now? :(

hello everyone. My name is Morgan, I'm 22. I've had 3 different doctors hand me a brochure for the Lap-Band, and i always roll my eyes. I always think, "surgery is the easy way out, i can do this on my own." that was 3 years ago, and i've since gained 60 MORE lbs. I'm now 5'4, weighing in at a whopping 295. I was always the girl "who has a stunning face, if only i could lose the weight" and its become the biggest issue in my life, and anything bad that has happened in my life can somehow go back to my weight. I've signed up for the seminar in my city for the LapBand and i'm anxious to get this going. And quickly. I day dream about it! haha Just wanted to say i love reading everyones posts! Anyone who wants to tell me their experience, I'd love that. Doubts? Pros? Thanks! -Morgan
