I was also nervous posting anything on youtube because I was (and still am) scared of negative or rude comments regarding my size. However, I've watched so many videos and they've inspired me to better myself, so I figure, why not just do the same? You're right, it's the hospital my mom works for that did not have wls in their policy. When I received the bad news from my doctor, the first thing I did was call the insurance company and plead for them to do something, to which they replied that it was out of their control. I do know a lot of people that have had wls and also have anthem blue cross and blue sheild but it is too bad that not all companies are willing to consider wls into their policy. Thank you so much for the compliments and I do hope I can be brutally honest with myself and with everyone who is watching my videos. I'm hoping it'll keep me "in check" and also keep everyone informed on how it difficult it really is. I'm sick of people telling me I took the easy way out. This is so not the easy way, we are working just as hard, if not harder than people who choose to just do diet and exercise alone. Hope you reach 145 soon, keep us posted. :w00t:

Hey everyone my name is Loubet and I've been banded this past Monday (August 24). I'm still in pain and I'm not yet able to return to school or my normal activities. I've been able to lose 50lbs on my own with just dieting and exercising but I need the lap-band to help me lose all the weight and reach my goal of 120. I'm currently 227 and my highest weight was 277. I still have 107 more pounds to go. :] I just started posting videos on youtube and plan to post them weekly as I lose weight. You can contact me here or there and I'm happy to answer any and all of your questions. http://www.youtube.com/user/LBEM1115 :w00t:
