Info about Blue Cross/Blue Shield of SC

I'm ASSUMING that the insurance follows the same guidelines for all of the Michelin plants, so hopefully you will not have a problem.  I'll keep my toes crossed (I need my fingers for work, lol). 

I have decided to go with the RNY because I have read soooo many things and posts where the band has a lot of problems...not with the band itself, but rather with slippage and the like.  Also, I've read where the weight loss is much slower and that in the long run, most folks regain their weight plus some.  I figure with the RNY and if I behave myself, it would be the best choice for me.  I only have roughly 95 pounds to loose.  My goal weight is 105, because I have a very small bone frame and I'm only 4' 11".  MY biggest problems are with borderline diabetes, high blood pressure, reflux and GURD.  I have only been over weight for about 10 years.  I was very small in my youth.  My graduation weight was 92 pounds.  I weighed 105 pounds 2 weeks after giving birth to my son...20 years ago next week.

I realized last fall when my foot broke just because of my weight (a stress fracture), that it was time and I have no will power over eating.  Well, I take that back...I do to a point, but when I know that I HAVE TO DO IT...that will make all the difference for me.  Knowing that if I don't behave, I'll suffer seriously...that's all it will take.

I stay on my feet and am almost always working so my weight really wears me out.  I swear sometimes I can hear my poor bones say, "To Hell With This", when I get out of bed in the morning, lol.

Anyway, take care and please let me know how it's going.
