I have been thinking about the lapband for quite sometime now. I went to an orientation last week and I am very interested in the lapband. I have only one concern, I have BCBS of North Carolina and I'm not sure if I'll get approved as my BMI is only 39. I'm 5' 1/2", 204 lbs with no health problems. I have tried every diet there is and yet like others have not been successful. I'm ready to change my life, just because I don't have any health problems now don't mean I'm free from them. I'm 41 years old and my mom is morbidly obese and has several health problems. I'm afraid I won't be here to see my grandchildren 1 day. I just don't know what to do, this is driving me crazy.

That is so great to hear!!!!!!! I am so happy for you... I am still waiting on my drs office.. They said my file is still floating around... I have called 2 days in a row. Guess I will just call everyday to remind the lady I am waiting to hear when she sends my info to the insurance company. Please pray for me...

Thanks so much.

Yes, I will keep you in my prayers.
