Okay Ladies, I have started the process to try and have my insurance pay for the Lap band gastric surgery. I have always fought my weight since I was around 10 years old after the sexual abuse started. Sometimes it was up and then down again. I have lost up to 120 lbs. once, but I am finding it so difficult this time around. I pray about it all the time. ANYWAY, I have researched this process and decided to give it a try. I have done all the initial stuff required and today was told by Dr. Edwards nurse, Mary that my profile looked good for the process. So now I have to go through his office and do all of the required classes, visits and so on then it will all be submitted to the insurance company! She said it all looked good and she really didn't see a reason why I wouldn't be accepted by my insurance. This will be a GOD send if it happens. The surgery runs around 16,000.00 and with my insurance it will cost me 800.00!!!!!!!!!!!
So keep me in your prayers so I can get this part of my life under control so I can enjoy those grandbabies.... And just feel better!

I will be praying for you as you go down this road. You are a beautiful woman with or without the weight, but I sure do understand your wanting to lose some. I have some to lose too, and you are right about feeling better when you are thinner. Keep us posted on the process, it sounds so interesting.
Well I "passed" the psych part of the process. I AM Normal... I told my family I was not sure any of them believed me, but I can prove it now! I asked her for a note so I could show everyone that I am the way I am because that is how GOD made me! She just laughed. So now on to the next process!
You are and will continue to be in my prayers. I really struggle with my weight too. It's a constant battle for me. Malinda was right though, you are a beautiful woman already! But, I love ya, and am happy for you! I've heard good things about this.
Thanks ladies. It isn't so much what I want to look like on the outside, I just want to feel better and get out and do some fun things that I feel my weight inhibits! Maybe bungee jumping.. LOL Thanks for the compliments though!
Wow Ronda! Definatley will be praying for you. This is not something to jump into lightly, as you know. Praying most of all that God's peace rest upon you as you move forward w/ your decision! You are beautiful anyway to anyone who takes the time to see you for who you are! Not to mention a very talented scrapbooker!
