  1. they want to see that you atleast tried to lose weight in some form lucky you for having a comorbidity because it makes approval much much easier ihad to gain weight to be approved
  2. why dont you go to a support group if he's being a player damn him I dont know your whole marriage story but while your hurting yourself he's out man whoring! you dont need anyone like that why would you let it interrupt what your doing your trying to better yourself for you noone else think about that if your pissed off take it out at the gym there's so many different options rather than self sabotaging yoursel I'll be praying for you<3

  6. first iwould like to thank all of you for being a inspiration to me. Ok so my whole lapband process started in may 2009 iweighed 296.50 49.03 only 20 years old idecided I no longer wanted to be obese well morbid obese its weird iknew iwas big but almost 300 pds was a deal breaker for me ineeded a change. So iwent to my dr she's the type to not want young patients to have surgery if they're not up in age so she said how about you come back in a month do some blood work if you lose weight on your own then I'll put you on Phentermine so isaid ok well a month later I only lost a pound but she was happy so from june 2009 till april 2011 iwas taking diet pills which to be completely honest ifelt like iwas going semi crazy im in college so its hard for me to study && focus my entire sleep pattern is off istopped taking the meds by choice because they were no longer aiding me but hurting me im sorry im still rambling idont mean to confuse anyone but in September 2010 me and my dr finally decided lapband is whats best for me through that 6 month monitored weigh ins I've done the psych eval nutritionist class heart test all of them said lapband would be great for me my bmi was my lowest bmi was 36.61 when my papers were submitted my bmi 37.44 iwas denied twice by my medical group I submitted it to my insurance June 1st 2011 that process was horrible iwas denied they said there was nothing special about my case because I dont have any co morbidities although my family has a a strong history of diabetis on both sides so iwas so defeated so iguess you can say igot kinda desperate because in June iweighed 231 im 5'5 soooo idecided to break all my good judgement && eat everything in sight iknow iknow iknow thats insane but ifeel like I've been doing everything my dr wanted me to do now ifinally want my surgery only to be told no your moderately obese wtf is that obese is obese so ihave a weigh in this week ihope I've gained weight just to be at bmi 40 my question is will I be approved no questions asked or will there be more hoops for me to leap through thanx for your time sorry ican never make a story short
