Anyone been overweight their ENTIRE life?
Jenmomto3 replied to Kellysue's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I started putting weight at age 8. when i was around 12 i was thin, but told i was heavy. so i started putting on weight. now i am 300+ lbs & 42 yrs old. i lose weight than goes right back on. i fail at maitance. also it seems like when it's that time i can't stop eating. so i have starting looking into lapband. have that physical reminder about eating. also has anyone has a personal trainer w/ nutrition? there are 2 gyms here doing that now, was thinking of doing that. -
how to appeal when you were approved for surgery but the Dr?
Jenmomto3 posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
My primary Dr referred to one of only 2 bariatric surgeries that she trusts in our area. There office got him approved at a bariatric surgereon. I got approved for a referreal. Well then i got letters stating that I am approved for surgery BUT they will not cover the surgeon that they approved me for a consult. they now want me to go to a Dr out of state & follow there 12-week diet program for 12-mtonhs...?? thank my concerns are: financail burden of the diet & travel. do not know this Dr. they are about the pyschy & figuring out things and not so much surgery why can't i go w/ the Dr i was referred to that is in our network. the diet will make me sick & i will not learn anything -
so while weighing all muy options. i was wondering has anyone had the problem of stomach stretching back out?? then you're back at square 1. thanks

Hi new here and have question
Jenmomto3 replied to curlyheadgirlsmama's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
wow!! very good point!! -
so i started thinking about the 2. and really questioning my decision to band. this is what i started thinking. yes there is an object in there. you will have to do fills. but if you do the "sleeve" they cut away your stomach. what happens if it stretches again?? just like w/ bypass wls, if you start gaining you just have to do the diet. w/ the band they can adjust it!!! just my 2 cents & what's going thru my head!

same here! on the fence!! what are some problems you've had with the sleeve?
