Hello all. I've been lurking for about a month now. I'm 22 (23 in may), I'm in my last year of college, from NC but I'm in VA for school. I'm being put back on my mom's insurance, as it will cover 80% of the cost, so I'm waiting for that. I'm hoping the wait period before surgery isn't too long, as once school starts again in August, it will be hard to get any time off.
I've been reading tons on here, and you guys are very informative! I've been overweight since I can remember, tried every diet in the book, and it just doesn't work! I eat pretty well, and my work requires me to be active. My problem is eating large amounts, even when I'm not hungry. I make smart food choices, I just go overboard. I'm hoping the LAP-BAND® can help me curb my eating habits.
I'm at an all-time high of just under 300lbs at 5'7" and I'm pretty darn tired of everything associated with being overweight. I want to walk my dogs for more than a mile without being dead tired, I want to go out with my friends at night and have fun without worrying about what other people think, and I want to avoid all of the health risks that will be knocking on my door in a matter of years if I don't get my weight under control!
Anyway, I think I've rambled quite enough. I look forward to this, and I can't wait to get started. The only thing I'm really thinking about right now is wait time before surgery. Does anyone have experience with BCBS, and their requirements before surgery? Thanks! Danielle
