I am just going to rant and bitch on this so I can vent without repeating myself on the threads. I started this research after visiting with my sister in NJ. Her brother in law had GB and looked amazing. He was about 200lbs overweight. I'm like 68 - 103 depending on what part of my BMI scale I should be at. I think GB is too risky for my taste so I decided to look into LB. I feel that this is the only way I can get my weight under control. I've read and read and researched and been to the seminars and chatted and been in the forum and talked to friends and family about it. I get all confused with everyone's imput. When I put everyone else's comments and feelings aside and focus on just mine. I know I can do this even if I'm scared. I want to look in my mirror and not cry b/c I'm so ashamed of myself, by body my lack of self control, lack of dedication to exercise, making excuses, putting myself after everyone else, not taking control of this problem before it got this bad. I want to be proud of myself b/c I did something for me and my future as a person. I am glad I found this website. It has been such an inspiration to know that I'm not alone in this journey. Thanks to all.

Not getting banded

Well my insurance rejected me so I'm not getting banded. It's okay though. I decided to attack the fat anyway. I've got monthly appointments with my doctor and a dietitian and I'm going to give it everything I've got and see what happens. Good Luck to everyone out there.

Rejected by my Insurance
· nathenag · 04/03/2008 11:04
I just got my letter yesterday rejecting my claim. I am so bummed out. I'm under the 40 BMI and BCBS says my other medical problems are not life threatening. So I can go through appeals or self pay. I really am not in the finiancial place to take out another loan so I guess I'll have to wait.
