Congrats! I just found out today i'm pregnant! About 8 weeks! I had no clue! I was banded in July so i was wondering the same things! Best of luck

It might be... With my insurance, i had one year to have the surgery. I'd call and check! I also think you can use that info to "re submit" ( With my insurance it had to be current within the past two years ) So as long as you don't wait longer than two years you should be good!

I have Aetna. Before being banned I had to go to a doctor for 6 months ( Seeing him once per month) and go on a diet. I also had to do a dietitian consult and psychiatric consult ( Which i did in the 5th month) . I would first choose who you are going to have perform the surgery and go to them for the 6 ( or however many) monthly visits. From what they told me, they have a special form to fill out and keep to send in the the insurance company and most doctors office ( like a primary doc ) doesn't document the things they should and one mess up could ruin the whole thing. They have to write down weight , new eating habits , and a few other things. There isn't a way to fast track it... I wish there was!! My time actually went fast. My one biggest advice would be to really work on the pre op diet. I didn't lose any weight in those 6 months. It would have made the big changes to come much easier if i would have worked on new habits then rather than going "cold turkey" LOL I was also approved on the first try. It did take about 2 weeks however! Best of luck!

My boyfriend and I have been TTC for about 6 months now. I recently discovered that i have PCOS. My doctor put me on birth control, which wasn't exactly what i wanted. ( We have one child together already) He said that because I have been pregnant before, most likely i should be able to get pregnant now. When/ before i was pregnant i weighed about 60 pounds less and i didn't have PCOS at the time ( Or at least no signs of it ) So i had a few questions.... 1. Has anyone used Clomid? 2. Does it come in a generic form? 3. What drugs/pills did you use? 4. Any advice?

Before lapband i took addipex.... its like meth or crack or something.... I wouldn't be hungry for days.... I lost 30 pounds in a month.... It is something i would NOT take again.

I am about 2 and a half weeks out and i have stopped losing weight as well. I've started working out a little bit here and there.

I am clueless as to how many calories I need per day. I looked it up and came up with 2200 per day. That seems like A LOT! Any advice or suggestions ?!?!
