I'm BACK!...again?
Hi everyone! Some may remember me, or some may not! I have been a member of obesityhelp.com for a couple years now..but lacked at coming back and keeping up. I havent gotten surgery yet, but am attending another weight loss surgery seminar on May 10th. I'm realy going to push to get the lap-band this time. I'm worried because our insurance says to be approved I have to be a fulltime student. I am not in high school, I dropped out and am now in GED..I dont know if they consider that school or not. I am turning 18 this month on May 23rd. .so I'm hoping that since I wont be a minor anymore that maybe my chances of getting surgery will be better. I hope everyone is doing well, if anyone would like to chat or anything let me know and we can keep in touch. BTW, I am 5'3 and around 300 some pounds *yikes* I have a yahoo messenger id its "whiskygurlNE" so if anyone has that, go ahead and add me so we can talk it up! =] As for now I realy dont know what to say. So I will wrap this up now. CYA!

Hey Maggie,
I have been a member on this site for a few years now too. I just got back into things the past few months. I tried to have WLS when I was 16 but insurnace would never approve it. So, now I am 18 and back on the journey again. I went to my WLS seminar on April 19th. I start my classes on May 15th. I am really excited!! Just to let you know I am 5'7 and 330lbs. O yea that sucks..lol.. O well, I hope you are having a good day and hope to talk to you again soon!
