In 2005 I was turned down by the insurance company for lap-band surgery because if was too new of a procedure. After that happened I joined Weight Watchers, joined a gym and got a personal trainer. I lost 30 pounds and about 28 inches. It took me 1 whole year and I really got discouraged. When I couldn't get under 200 pounds with working out 2 or more hours a day and losing a pd, then gaining a pound, I looked into lap-band again. I was finally approved and had my surgery on 10/30/2008. I am finding sweets seem to go down real easy which was a problem for me during the holidays. I know surgery is not a cureall and intend on eating better and exercising more for 2008.
