This is my first time posting but I have been reading post on LBT for about a month now. I finally got tired of fighting this never ending battle. I've been on every diet you can name, I paid expensive personal trainers, I've taken appetite suppressants and none of these things have helped me sustain weight loss.

I've always been over weight, but now I am at my highest weight ever (257). I am 5'4 tall, my BMI is 43.8. I was very apprehensive about having to get approval from my insurance company but they approved me in less than 24 hours of receiving the paperwork from my doctor. Based on what I've been reading on LBT, that is record time.

I enjoy reading your posts and I'm looking forward to being a part of the BANDSTERS club. :thumbup:

welcome to LBT.

My paperwork was submitted to insurance today...I am hoping for a quick reply. They said my insurance usually takes about 24-48 hours to answer. I am 5'4 also and am at 235 right now... my all time high also. Let me know how it goes for you. Congratulations on getting approved.
