I am 27 years old and I currently weigh 232 pounds. I am only 5'2". I have a BMI 0f 42.5. In high school I was alway a little heavier than the other girls but only 10-15 pounds. I have always seen myself as being HUGE. Even at my lightest 125 pounds I thought I was huge. I would give anything to go back to that now hahaha. My weight has slowly crept up over the past 10 years. Before I even realized it I was over 200 pounds. I like everyone else have tried just about evry diet and weight loss program out there. Ususally I have been successful for about 20- 30 pounds. I could not ever get any further than that. About 2 years ago my brother told me that his best friends wife had surgery. I saw her and did not even recognize her. She looked amazing.Then the more people I talked to the more people I found that had the surgery. I grew curious and started the research. I scheduled a consult in March 2006. However I found it that my insurance did not cover the surgery. So, I started my 12 months diets with my PCP. Then in September of this year my husbands employer screwed up and everyone's insurance was terminated. I was able to get insurance through my own employer at that point. I made a few calls and found out that I was covered!!!!!! Now here I am waiting to get banded on November 26th.
