Hello:bounce:
My name is Cindy. I live in erlanger ky.I am 47 years old married 26 years and have one son who is 24. I am scheduled for lap band Feb7th at Jewish Hospital with Dr. Fegelman. I have tried other weight loss products.... Weight Watchers was the most recent. It works for a while then I get cocky thingking I can do it on my own. Not true. I do real good then say oh one day wont hurt if I cheat. Then somehow just fall off the wagon all together and I gain the weight back. I have thought long and hard about the lap band and have decided to do it. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I know this is a life style change and I am ready to make that change.

Hi Cindy.

I am new to the board so welcome to both of us. I totally understand what you are saying about dieting. I am really into it for a few weeks, then I start to cheat a little bit then bam I am back at eating everything in site.

I am in the process of trying to find an insurance company who will cover the lap band. I have Bluegrass Family Health right now and they absolutely don't cover it. I have talked to an Anthem agent who says they don't cover it. I am at a loss and can't afford the $15K it costs to pay out of pocket.

I guess I will keep searching and saving up my money!
