Hey guys I'm new to this blog and I have been reading through some of the threads and I really like the way you guys support each other. I've been struggling with getting this weight off for over 2 years and now I'm at my heaviest 224lbs and I'm 4ft 11inch tall. So I'm really excited to start this journey! Talk you soon!

Welcome to the group! Do your research and make the choice thats right for you. I know that for me, the band was the best decision and I am grateful for the changes in my life and weight over the past year. next month is my 1 year 'bandiversary' and I can say that I definitely DONT regret anything about it!

Welcome!

Thank you guys, I've tried other diets like hcg and others and I've researched other surgeries and the Lapband is the right church t choice for me. I'm just starting and I'm trying to see if my husband's insurance (Aetna) will cover it so I'm a little nervous to get denied.
