Bcbs Il Bmi 37.5 + 3 Comorbids
SusieSunshine replied to SusieSunshine's topic in Insurance & Financing
Thanks! I thought I would be approved but you know how you just never know. I've been eating so much just thinking it wouldn't happen. Time to get on track now. I know that makes no sense. -
Well when I look in the mirror I see someont thinner then I am. Pictures tell me the opposite. So I can't wait until I look good in pictures!

Lapband And Wine Or Alcohol Once In Awhile?
SusieSunshine replied to tonyann's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Lapbandster you are too funny. If that isn't incentive not to have beer I don't know what is! I start liquid diet soon best have my fill of it before hand. I will miss that alot more then overeating, soda etc... While I don't drink it often I sure love it. -
I had implants before I gained my last 50 lbs. So they will still be there when the fat melts away. Hoping I don't need a lift!
-
Yes i know I need to ask my dr. I just got approved today! I'm wondering if port location is different based on starting size? I really don't want mine under my boob like some of you have. Any info will help.

Hey we are in the same boat! I think my surgery will be mid sept! If you want to be liquid diet buddies I would love that!

Wow this is really good to know. I hate bad breath. Will work extra hard for sure to hide this!

Lap Band The Right Choice?
SusieSunshine replied to xxoxoheatheroxox's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I honestly don't know why anyone wouldn't at least try the band first. Really consider the alteration of your body. This is just my opinion. Good luck! -

New Member - Research Stage
SusieSunshine replied to NaviMend's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
There are so many dr.s appt and classes I had to attend through my program. But I am almost there. Started Mid July and will most likely be banded mid Sept or sometime mid oct! Everyday you question is a day that you could be losing. Even if it treats the symptom you will be healthier and not so heavy. To me healthy and thinner equals happy. The band is a tool meant to help you. I say use it! Good luck girl! -
Does The Band Last For Life?
SusieSunshine replied to Sarahemma94's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I think she was just curious. To me the risk of it needing to be replaced is worth the reward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have breast implants due to them being different sizes. I've had them for over 10 years and when one pops I'll deal with it then -

To me Quac is not a food I completely forgot about it

Surgery Tomorrow, What Do You Wish You Wouldve Done To Prepare Before Surgery
SusieSunshine replied to Amoore627's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How long before they let you take a shower? I didn't know we had to wait to bathe. -
Okay why are you doing this? Band and you didn't get along?
-
They have a calorie counter on their website that will give you all the nutritional info. I know there meats are EXTREMELY salty. But if you stay away from tortillas sour cream and cheese you will be okay!

Pre-Op Diet And I'm So Hungry!
SusieSunshine replied to Rachel1978's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have already planned to go to the movies as much as possible. Pass the popcorn stand and try to focus on the movie. That is going to be a great distraction for me. -
