  1. Good luck LBC. I am going to be self pay as well. My seminar is scheduled for Oct 27 & my psych evaluate is Oct 31. I hope I can have the sugary the first or second week of Nov.
  2. Thanks SkinnyMinniMe for the encouragement, it is MUCH NEEDED!
  3. I just read over the coverage policy for Cigna, blood pressure has to be uncontrolled with optimal medical management and six months of supervised weight lost program. I would be a whole year trying to get approved and then I would probably have another medical issue by then. My right knee is already giving me trouble due to the extra added weight Appears that I will be self pay.....
  4. I know, I am only 14 poundage away of a BMI of 35 Trust me, I do not want to pay for it. I may look into some other methods. Would I have to weigh in more than once?
  5. I am aware the FDA approval. So glad I don't have to struggle with the decision of going to Mexico.
  6. I have been over weight for many years, numerous diets, personal trainers, prescription medication, liposuction (twice) and weight watchers and I am still 190 ponds. I have high blood pressure, but last year I was able to jog 6.2 miles non stop in the peachtree road race, but I am still obese.
  7. My BMI is 32.6 and I am looking to have the lap band surgery. I have located a surgeon locally. I am going to a seminar on Oct 27, 2011 & I will start my journey from there. I know I will be self pay. I am a Registered Nurse and have done intensive research and I have decided this is the best option for me.
