unfortunately i have not been to any doctor in the previous 2 years. i did not have health insurance until this year

I have been planning on having this surgery since may of '09. I have only one appointment left and should be scheduling surgery soon. However i recieved word today that my insurance is requiring 2 full years of previous doctors visits. well i recently just got insurance for the 1st time in about 5 years so i have no medical history. my insurance company is messing around and are now asking me to submit a letter stating why i have no medical history for the past 2 years and pictures PROVING im obese. has this happened to anyone else? my hopes were so high, and now i feel as though they will not let me have this surgery i need to desperatly start and live my life. please share any stories that could give me hope. thanks everyone.

lunges! lunges! Lunges! they will not only get you a booty, but a beyonce booty, at that!

i am 20 years old but i have been overweight my entire life. i decided to get the lap band procedure done in july 2009. i am doing it solely for health reasons. how ever all i hear is nightmare stories on how saggy skin made them more depressed and disgusted with themselves than they wre before they lost the weight. like i said im only 20 but i have alot of stretch marks on my stomach, will my stomach sag? i just need to be reassured... ill be having my procedure done in dec. 09 by Dr. Hollis also, has anyone heard stories good/bad about him? thanks so much everyone! starting weight 260 heights 5'8 age 20
