Hi, My BMI is 33 and My insurance is covering it. I have Tricare Prime. But you have to have health issues.

he was really hot and smart and funny and we had a really good time! ultimately though i don't think he's right for me (he's a little too out there and unconventional for me). but damn, it was sure good practice and made me feel better about myself.

I went to my intial consult today. I am now in the pre op program!!! I need to get my pysch eval and dietary appt. done, and a sleep study. I'm so excited that I am finally on my way to a healthier life style!

According to the "BMI" calculator, I am no longer obese! I have waited a long time to get to this point and am very excited! I just wanted to share the news! Still need to lose another 25 pounds to get out of the "overweight" category - but I know I can do it! Good luck to everyone out there - It's an amazing journey!

The ultimate goal of having the band is for it to be a helpful tool for you to lose weight. The fact that you are doing it on your own right now is certainly admirable but that will not eliminate you getting fills. It just shows that as you progress in this journey you are going to rock it! Just keep doing what you are doing and when the fills continue and you start to really get the benefits of this tool in your life, you will have certainly gotten to the point where you deserve it!! Congrats to you.

Erin,
Just my .02...this may not be about your band at all. You sound like you're suffering from depression and it needs to be treated. If your mom won't take you to see your regular doctor (not the band doctor) to get help, ask another friend or relative. Therapy helps, but I also know that when my doctor temporarily put me on anti-depressants after my son was born (years ago), it was like someone turned on the light. I had no idea just how dark my world was until it wasn't.
If you're not covered by insurance and have no money, there are usually free clinics or agencies that will help. Please...seek it out. You're worth it.
