O ok yes I guess thats what I have been noticing lol

What are trools? Lol

I go through almost every post, but some posts look shady and unreliable. Just wanted to know, I know every open site does. But some post on here are random, I alway look at how many posts someone has and the topic they choose to talk about. Just an obvservation

You look great!! Good job!!

Welcome!! This forum has a great deal of information! I'm also a newbie but wanted to say hello. I'm still at the very very very beginning! But I read this forum ALL day lol and watch youtube videos You'll learn a lot of information here.

My insurance (Anthem BCBS) through my job covers Lap Band surgery only!! I called them directly to see what I was covered for because the dr office hasn't returned my call yet. I know I'm far from being approved but I just wanted to know the requirements and if it was covered One of which... was to have a BMI over 40 and I'm currently at a 53 with no co-mo's (possible sleep apnea-test next week) Now I'm waiting for the dr office to schedule my consultation I was worried about my coverage I feel much better now

I agree. I hide behind sooo much because of my weight, I'm so introverted now, I was never this way before. I understand where you're coming from.

Good Luck!!!

I learned a great deal about weight loss surgery. Still very much interested in the lap band, Now I have to wait for a consultation call, the Dr said we should get the medical necessity letter from the pcp while we wait. I found out my BMI is actually 53, so scary!! I just want to process to move quickly

I would feel comfortable staying over night just to make sure everything went well, I'm far from that stage but just saying. Fitness Pal : Lynjhnsn<br />Current weight: 325lbs<br />Goal Weight: 150lbs<br />Lapband beginner: Seminar September 5th

I'm Lyn 37 female 320-325lbs 5'6 BMI is 41. I have pre high blood pressure, possible sleep apnea, and severely bad knees. I'm been obese a majority of my life. I'm tired of being tired. I want energy, I want to be able to walk without being tired and having my knees hurt. So after several months and months of trying it do it the non surgical way. I have decided to attend a seminar this Wednesday. I'm excited but nervous too. I really want to feel better. Also nervous about my insurance approval (Athem bcbs) I've been reading the forum and have gotten excited and scared at the same time. I will be checking in after my seminar on Wednesday .... I'm ready to start this journey
