We just recently went on spring break. I met up with a couple of friends that I hadn't seen in a while. I was so amazed at how good they looked. Both friends had lost about 70 pounds. Naturally I asked them what they were doing to lose the weight. Both friends had the lap band procedure. I had inquired about the surgery about 2 years ago, but didn't pursue it because my insurance wouldn't cover it. My friends and I had several discussions about the procedure, their new lifestyles, and insurance. I have found out that my husband's insurance now covers the surgery. Woohoo!!!!! Guess what. I am going for my initial visit on the 5th of May. I am hoping things move quickly. I am so excited to finally have hope at weight loss. I am a bit nervous, but I think it is more of that giddy excitement mixed with emotions of a new adventure. I can't wait.

Congratulations!! The change is going to be incredible!

Hello breakingfree

You are going to fill more and more nervous and excited as you get closer to the approval . All of the emotions that you can posible go through you will. Just do everything that the doctors tell you to and you will be ok. Just had sursery 4 days ago. the new me is just around the corner. Good luck to you on your new adventure.

hi breakingfree

good luck on your journey.

i have to say it is one of the top 3 single best decisions i have ever made in my life.

like babygirl said....just follow your doctor's suggestions and stay focused on your goal and you can make it.

it isnt a "walk in the park" but the results are more then worth it.

when you start flying downward through clothes sizes that you havent seen in years.....you will be even more giddy. when i no longer had to shop in lane bryant and could walk into any women's store...wow!

i finally feel like a normal person and am no longer the fatest person in the room.

i'm very excited for you and your journey.

Hi, all. I'm just as excited and giddy as you are. I have my first consultation with Dr. Kim on Tuesday, April 28th. I am a self pay but think it's going to be the best thing I have ever done for myself. Good luck to you.
