How Do You Deal With Negative Feedback From Family,friends,coworkers About Being Banded?
MandaC replied to JanellesMommy8210's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ive told everybody!! My family and friends and coworkers, but I'm very blessed cause everyone has been very supportive of my decision to have lap band! And as far as those that say it is a "easy way out" I'd like to punch them in the face!! It is in no way easy matter of fact it was one of the toughest decision I've ever made. My point is I'm proud of myself for the decision I made to have lap band and I usually don't listen to the negative! -

Having Trouble Burping!!!
MandaC replied to brittneynicole's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got banded on 3/23/12 too. I'm also having problems burping and a lot of pressure in my chest. I've been walking to try to help with the gas pain it seems to help a little. -

Bad Comment From Insurance Company..
MandaC replied to KAllison =)'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeons office submitted my paperwork online but since I was using a photo for my 2009 records it was denied. So they turn around and mailed my paperwork. I called ins today to inquire about the status and the lady tells me and I quote "I'm not suppose to tell you this but since they denied it the first time they will prob deny it the second time, but I'm not suppose to tell you that" my heart sunk!! Why would you tell someone that??! I'm praying she is wrong! -
My last doctor appointment was sat feb. 25th and I was also submitted Monday. My surgeons office will not schedule surgery until they get the letter of approval so I won't know anything until I hear from insurance company and it's driving me crazy!! It seems like the days drag by while you're waiting for a phone call or the mail to run lol! I'm so nervous and anxious! I hope we both hear something soon!!!
