    weightloss before first fill??

    Hi all. I was banded on March 11, 2011. My first fill will be April 19th. I have lost 10 lbs since surgery and 16 since pre-op. I am so frustrated because I have been doing everything to lose weight. I was determined to lose 10 more before my first fill. The nutritionist said the majority of people do not lose weight after the initial first big drop until their fill. Most just stay the same. I talked with him today and his theory is that our bodies are recovering from the big shock and with the water weight loss our bodies just hold on to it for a little while. That makes me feel somewhat better, but still frustrated. I am exhausting myself with nothing to show for it. So for now I am going to not worry about it and just wait until my fill.
  2. I have Aetna and I am not sure but I think its PPO its one of the better ones because my husband works for the Union so its a GREAT plan and I am currently 2 months into my 3 month diet plan. So my information wont be sent for another month but I am anxious that I wont be approved. My BMI is currently at 40 and I can prove that for 2010 and 2008 with medical records but in January of 09 I went to Jenni Craig after learning my old insurance did not cover the surgery. So my only documented weight that would qualify is Jenny Craig. So will that be counted or not because its not medical?? I lost almost 70 lbs with them and then put it all back on and them some with my last pregnancy. So I jsut dont know? anyone with words of wisdome??
