Congrats to you. I'm from Fayettevill, but I work in Raleigh. Keep up the good work.

I am considering Dr. Mitchell, in Pinehurst, I live in Fayetteville. I have a Dr. Appt with my PP on Monday and we'll see if she give's me a good recommendation. I'm really pushing a 40 BMI, my height is probably closer to 5'. Hopefully this will work, just keep me in prayer. All I know is my knees hurt, often my back aches and I know it's because of my weight.

I have been thinking about the lapband for quite sometime now. I went to an orientation last week and I am very interested in the lapband. I have only one concern, I have BCBS of North Carolina and I'm not sure if I'll get approved as my BMI is only 39. I'm 5' 1/2", 204 lbs with no health problems. I have tried every diet there is and yet like others have not been successful. I'm ready to change my life, just because I don't have any health problems now don't mean I'm free from them. I'm 41 years old and my mom is morbidly obese and has several health problems. I'm afraid I won't be here to see my grandchildren 1 day. I just don't know what to do, this is driving me crazy.
