Hello everyone!! Wow this is a great community! I cant believe how much unbiased info there is on here..that is great! Anyway, I am 29 years old and have been playing this weight game ever since I can remember. I have tried all the diets out there at least twice, only to find myself and my highest weight of about 260. I have not been banded yet, but am seriously starting to look into it. I am attending a seminar next week to find out more also. Any tips? Also, I already checked and my insurance doesnt pay for it...now what?

Anyway, I have tons and tons of questions, but I will read as much as i can on these boards before asking!

looking forward to getting to know you all and losing with you!

Welcome! Who is your provider?

My insurance provider is BCBS, preferred-care blue

My INS didnt cover it either... but i decided to get a loan and have it done anyways... it will be well worth it in the long run... Im a little over a week post op and glad i went through with the surgery...
