Don't hate me...
But... over the weekend I got my insurance card... This morning I called to confirm if they covered WLS and low and behold they do... My husband seems to think that I would be just happy getting an abdomnioplasty. Where we gonna get the money for that!!! I just hope he understands... A few weekends ago his mom had her birthday party and she invited my husbands ex-girlfriend. I just felt like a fat funky mess!!! How can my insecurities bring me down so much.. I have no clue.. We have been married for almost 13 years... I should be okay.. but I am not because I do not feel good about they way I look. I will be attending a seminar on Saturday and am waiting for insurance confirmation from the other places to schedule and appt... Right now.. I have no emotion about it.. just going thru the motions of taking the 1st step. Praying I am making the right decision. I will continue with all I have been doing thus far.... eating, working out, etc. I am just tired of not seeing results... and I know nothing guaranteed.... but I cannot afford to gain and have 100 pounds to lose.... I hope I have some support....
Me too, what are you thinking about, gastric bypass, LapBand, or another surgery?

I'm going for my second appt. with the LapBand surgeon on August 29th. I've been to three seminars and the first two docs there was no way I was letting them operate on me. I really like this one, and he let me schedule my first appt. to come and and discuss any issues I had and meet the staff. I think I really like him, and he just had the band 16 wks ago himself, so at least I know he beleives in the surgery!

Thanks Girl!! 
wow - I think it is fantastic that you have the OPTION of wls. so many people dont. Once you are sure you are making the right decision FOR YOU just move forward.

You've got my support. You do what you need to do and if WLS is right for you then go for it. For me, I'm looking into it too and have my seminar set for August 13.
If in your heart this is the way you need to go to lose the rest of your weight, then do it.
What type are you thinking of? Lapband, RNY, or VSG?
All the best,
Melinda
