Well I joined WW ( again ... this is like my 5th time) I had a friend that asked me to join with her. So I thought well, even if I am able to have the lapband surgery this may be better for me to try to lose even a little bit so I can be even the slightest bit healthier for the surgery. I mean it cant hurt right?

I called my insurance company today. They need the diagnosis codes from my doctors as to what is wrong with me before they will even consider okaying the procedure. SO its not a definite yes or no yet. My doctors offices are calling me back tomorrow with the codes. Then I have to call the insurance company back. They said this still doenst mean they will approve it. But its one step closer to knowing if it might be possible.

I have tried other things... other diets, liquid diets. Nothing works for me . And especially not now with my back problems.. I cant do the necessary exercise needed to shed the pounds .

Thanks you guys for your input and suggestions. This is a really hard decision for me . But one that I know could make a big difference in my life.
