  1. Getting The Lapband Done With Tricareprime

    Mello Mel replied to kaitlynmarie93's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hi, I called Tricare and they said I wasn't eligible, as my BMI is only 35.4, 65 pounds over weight and I don't have diabetes or high bp. I do have other things like sleep apnea and GERD. Any advice?

  2. Stuck & wondering if lap band is for me

    Mello Mel posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Hi, My name is Mel. I'm 54 and I am 65 pounds over weight. My BMI is 35.4. I have tried dieting and always gain the weight back plus more. I enjoy exercising and work out 3-4 times per week. I'm interested in learning what it's like to go thru the experience of adjusting to a lap band. I'd love to hear from you.
