I, like most of you, have struggled with my weight for years. My weight become a problem after I had children, so can't blame it on them! I have been involved with Weight Watchers, Nutritional Weight Control, Atkins, South Beach, Richard Simmons, Phen - Fen etc....yes, I lost some weight, but gained it with always an additional 10 pounds or so before my next attempt at fad dieting. I was approved for the lapband in 2005, went through the motions, got my surgery date and backed out!!! After attempting Weight Watchers, yet again...and failing. I realized that losing weight was not going to happen for me unless I did have surgery. I called my surgeon's office back, they resubmitted all my paperwork to the insurance company and it come back approved again... I didn't have to go through all the pre op stuff again, they used all my info from the first time, which helped in getting a surgery date quick!
