Hah, thankful for Lane Bryant for letting me go to prom dressed but wont be sad to never shop there again janesays :thumbup:!

Well I only weigh 219 right now, but as I am 5'1' every pound really counts. I mean I would have to be really really careful like to lose no more than a pound a month. (can only lose 7) but I wish i could really try and give myself the best chance possible :-(

Answer: I have a history of sticking to a diet losing 30 pounds and then gaining 45 back. Repeat. Repeat. Repear. LOL you get the idea. I got the feeling that losing the weight was going to negitavily affect my insurance. My first weigh in at there office is on wednesday. I guess I'll try and wear a bunch of layers or something :thumbup: LOL

My surgeon has a nutricionist on staff so she is going to do my 6 mth diet but I am worried because I am at 41.8 BMI only 7 pounds over 40 and if I lose to much weight will I be rejected by my insurance. I asked her if I should try not to lose more than 7 pounds and she laughed and said that if she told me to do that it would be insurance fraud. LOL I dont know what that means? I am talking about going down to Mexico, and I dont want to waste 6 mths if I am just going to get rejected anyways. I dont mind paying once but my fear is if I get it in Mexico and after I lose some weight the band slips. My insurance wouldnt cover rebanding right? I would just have to pay again right? Gah! Advice plz!

I am very interested in WLS, I actually went down this road last year but had to put it off because of my age. I have minor sleep apnea and a BMI of 42. I weigh about 219 and am 5'1' tall. I worry that because of my age and lack of what my doctor calls more serious comorbities I wont be covered by my insurance or find a surgeon. I am going to an info session on wednesday with dr. lui. I have obesity on both sides of my family and the average lifespan of my mothers side is about 52 years of age :-(. I have been on WW twice and lost 30+ pounds both times but it always comes back with a vengence and atleast 10 or 15 extra. I also lost about 30 pounds on alli but that also came back :thumbup: I think the reason that I have been able to lose weight is because while i was heavy I could still exersize but lately I have been having pain in my knees that is making it more difficult. I want to stop the cycle before I end up to sick to change things. Any advice?
