Hello. I'm 5'5" or 5'6" and weigh 185 or so. My BMI is around 31. I can't get this weight off and it's been on for about 7 years or so. Does anyone know if I would be eligible for Lapband and insurance pay for it? I play tennis once a week and I feel like I'm falling apart...I've got plantar fascitis (spelling?), my ankles are killing me, my knee and my hip. I can see myself just getting worse if I can't get this weight under control and get it off.
