VGFLA
My name is Vionnette and I am 32. I am married and have 2 girls (4 and 20 months). I have been overweight all my life. When I was bout 18, I lost about 100 pounds with WW but after getting married I gain them back and it’s been 10 years and the weight still there. I would loose 20 or 40 pounds dieting but as soon as I stopped, I would gain it all back. With my last pregnancy I had a C-section and my body changed dramatically. I kept putting weight on I kept this “belly” that makes me very uncomfortable. One day my husband mentioned the Lap Band, I think he heard about it on TV and that was the beginning of my journey. I went to my primary care physician to consult the Lap Band idea and he said:”absolutely”! I couldn’t believe it. He gave me a letter of medical necessity; I submitted all the paperwork to my insurance (UHC) and less than 3 weeks after, I was approved!!! I know it’s going to be rough but I am looking forward to a healthier life.
