I have the same story as most people on here. I have struggled with my weight since I was 12 years old and I have been on a diet since I was 14. I have tried every diet and diet pill from Atkins to Xenical. In 2001, I lost the most weight ever on Atkins. When I started I was 220 and I got down to 160. Then I started eating like a normal person and gained it all back plus a few more...In 2004, I got married and gained a little more. Now here I am at 265 lbs.
On November 8, 2006, I went to a lapband seminar and decided that I wanted to do it.
After sending all of my paperwork to my insurance (Encore), they came back and said they wanted to see proof that I have been obese for 5 years and 18 months of doctor supervised dieting. I knew that I could not wait 18 months so we tried my husbands insurance (BCBS) about a week after we sent my paperwork in they approved me! No questions asked! I scheduled my surgery for February 15, 2007.
