I posted a message earlier to introduce myself. Now I am just freaking out because I am soooo scared and unsure what to do. I cannot stand being this big. I have tried diet after diet but no success. I am on Medicare and last time I checked they were not paying for this procedure. They pay for gastric bypass but not the LB. I am going to call again tomorrow. Right now I am just feeling down, depressed and all alone. I am scared to have the surgery but scared not to. Thank you everyone for all your post on this site. I have been reading them for the past several hours. Maybe there is hope for me yet.

Today is Memorial Day, 2006. I weighed myself this morning and I weighed 296.5 lbs. Last night, after eating pizza and drinking beer, I weighed 301.5. That was the first time I saw the "3" on the scale. I am so disgusted with myself. I cannot continue like this. I hate myself.

Hi everyone, I just registered and wanted to introduce myself. I am very seriously considering the lap band surgery. I know there is a lot of wonderful information here. Hope to get to know a lot of you better soon. Terry
