Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hello Everyone, My name is . I am 20 years old and I am from Pittsburgh. I was never what you would call super thin, but I always ranged from a size 10 to 14. I have done every single diet there is and failed. In the past three years, I have gained 120 pounds and found myself wearing a size 20. My weight consumes everyday of my life. I am young and I don't think that I can live everyday of my life struggling with this. I have in the past month been vigoriously researching gastric bypass and the gastric band. In all, I have found that the most success rate is with the bypass. Basically, I need some feed back. I have a consultation appointment on the 27th with the first doctor and have yet to hear from the other. I am just scared and have heard some real horror stories. I need to hear that it is worth it, because I really do believe that it is and have never wanted something so bad in my life. Other question that I have are how long it usually takes to have it done as far as from your first appointment and if anyone has Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, how they are with coverage. I would greatly appreciate it. My email address is natd842@... Thank You, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
