    This Sucks!

    They did something like this to but they told my dr that they didnt cover it at all. I had called and asked them to send me all requirement pror to this so I had 28 pages proving that they did they cover 100percent since I had met all out of picket. Call again get the 28 pages and keep for people. Different people say different things get all their name and employee number. Good luck

    Slip!!

    I have read that a slight slip may repair its self with a start over diet following one like after surgery. Going through the stages. I would try it if dr advises it's easier than a revision.

    First Few Bites Hurt

    I get that feeling fairly often it's like I'm getting stuck it happens even with yogurt sometimes I stop and start again a do get stuck. I'm at what I call my grn zone and this is good restriction for me. I follow a high protein low carb diet but it feels a little like I swallowed a rock with first few bites. I take it as a sign to and not get stuck
  7. My dr had me lay down blow up my stomach stuck needle it did hurt as much as a lot of shots do. Put in 2 cc I could feel a strange tightening in stomach not unpleasant. Sr had me air up sip 3 sips of water no problems. I did get restriction. More on 2 wk. and in green now 4 weeks.

    Yep it helps to understand
  9. A tuna sandwich can be a soft food. A roast beef sandwich not. It depends on your dr mine has me slow add reg foods at this time hard meats like chicken steak. Mac n cheese is soft food.

    Forgot!!!

    Haaa you probably aren't the first to do that. I didn't have to do a liquid diet. Just low fat for one week. I lost 8 lbs that week.
  12. It's not really anything they just want to make sure you have real expectations. I knw people on here that have mentail disorders that they passed. If you think you can do this and understand its not a miracle that you still have to work at it you be fine.
  13. The first thing you need to do is contact insurance ask them to mail you all requirements for bariatic surgery I'm glad I did this because on the phone after they said they didn't cover it two times my dr called and they no we don't cover it I called told them had sent me a packet and the next time my dr called they said yes we cover it. This was the approval just stating that they do cover barbaric surgery. It helps to have everything in front of you in writing on all requirements. Good luck. It takes a little effort since they hope you'll give up.

    LapBand Lower Class????

    Vitamin abortion from most food is done in either the stomach or the intestine I would prefer not to remove the ability to absorb vitamins and minerals into my bdy I also like that we can remove or remove fill if we become Ill and need extra food I choose to work harder and safer. Drs do push the other surgerys it cost more less matinees for the dr

    Dr. Robert Snow

    Sorry but no I have to sch 2 weeks ahead of time but I get in easy enough any day of the week. I don't knw where you went but I have heard some of the big place like true results can be hard to get in to. I went to a private surgeon
  22. Also it decrease the risk of bloating increased gas. Think of the water coolers that bubble up air when you change the bl. Sort of!
  23. You sip water now to get use to drinking that way it will help you once you get restriction
