Hi Amanda. Your post has been up a while but I hope you read and reply to this. What ever happened as far as your insurance? Did you have the surgery? How hard was it? I am also in South Jersey with the same insurance. Thanks, Verna Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

It sounds like you had an exciting day. I'm very happy for you. I can't wait for my consult in July. Congratulations!

The Weight of a Nation is an awesome documentary! I have watched the first three parts and I have started the the fourth. I have learned so much. If you have an iPod/iPad/iPhone the whole series is available fo free in iTunes so you can watch it on the go. I am also Pre-op and I have been asking myself the same thing (if I'm looking for a quick fix). I know that this is going to be a complete lifestyle change and I'm ready for that.

So happy for you.

Hi everyone. My name is Verna and I am tired of being fat. I have high blood pressure and pain in my knees. I have an appointment with a bariatric surgeon in July and I cannot wait to begin the process. I joined this forum to get knowledge and to meet new people who are going through what I'm going through.

@Dianne Wow, May 24. How long does the procedure take and did you come home the same day? @JaGo I definitely plan to be around through this whoe process. It was only a week and a half ago I made the decision to pursue bariatric surgery. I finally got up the nerve to call on Thursday. I am very excited about the thought of getting my life back. I'm tired of going down steps one at a time when I used run up them two at a time and not having the energy to do the things I used to do. Thank you ladies both for all your kind words and support.

Thanks so much JaGo. That's so great you've lost so much. I know I have a long road ahead of me but that's ok. I didn't get this way overnight and it's going to take some time to take it off. It's also very encouraging to hear that the knee and back pain get better.

Hi Chrissy. Are you still looking for a lap band buddy? My name is Verna and I also live in S. Jersey.

Thanks for the welcome, Jacki. Congratulations on that 30 lb loss. You should be proud of yourself. That's awesome. Ok dumb question time, what is a fill?
