This is a disappointing day. I have been preparing for banding on my own by cutting out all of my diet pepsi (almost one month without drinking pop. I have also cut down on fast food and am looking for as much info on lap banding as possible. I did not see how I could be denied...
I was denied because it was determined that other wt loss methods may be better for me. This was determined at my psych consult. I think this was because I replied that I was a stress eater and I had a stressful job. The psychologist saw me no more than 15 minutes! I can't believe this. I currently weigh about 340lbs. I don't feel like I can do this on my own and I need more help then wt watchers can offer me. Please someone give me some good news. I will appeal this but I was hoping that someone out there has had a similair story and was approved? :ohmy:
