I am currently enrolled in a weight loss program for the lap band. On March 31st i go to my final appointment and then begin the pre-cert process with the insurance company so keep me in your prayers. I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) since I was 18 so I have struggled with my weight for many years. Even as a child I remember being on weight watchers with my mother and have tried every diet out there. Being PCOS, i have an insulin issue which keeps me from losing weight like others. I can cut my calories and keep up with the best of them at the gym but I still wont lose nearly as much because of this. For me, the lap band isnt about vanity, it is medical issues. Even though I am just 27, I have high blood pressure, GERD, morbid obesity, PCOS, knee issues, and I cant sleep comfortably laying down due to so much weight so I have slept in a recliner for over a year now. My feet and knees have suffered and ache daily. I just want to feel my age and get back to doing my kick boxing like I use to be able to do. Looking better is just an added bonus to me!
