You rock!!!!

My insurance required 6mths of diet followup with PCP& 6 hrs nutritional class. Psyc eval. Everything done but last Drs visit Aug 30. The six months did go by quickly.

Hi Ally! I've not been banded yet, hoping for late Sept. This forum is awesome! I've learn so much.

YEAH!!!!

Good luck! Thoughts & prayers coming your way!

GB meaning Gastric Bypass

What everyone else has said. Just wanted to say, how dare her say anything "looks like you're starting a diet". I would have been a smart @#$ and said no, why do you think that? Also my son-in-laws are store managers, if they heard that conversation she would have been called out. My sister had GB and she lost a lot of weight quickly and she's now gained most of it back. Best wishes on whatever you decide! How dare her!!!!!

That is fantastic! Congratulations! I too have Aetna and will be submitting all the paper work Aug. 31. I'll follow your lead if I get denied.

I think I finally came up with a name, after great thought. PRECIOUS, because she's going to be sooooo good to me. LOL

Thoughts & prayers for an easy surgery and recovery!

We're here for you a1990!!!! Do your homework. Find out whats involved with Lapband. It's not a miracle weight loss program, it's a tool. Good Luck!

Hope you feel better soon! Like you said "live & learn".

I'll have to try this. I love Chai Tea!

I'm 56yrs old. I need both knees replaced. I can't do anything. I know what you're saying. This is the year I've decided is about me. I've raised my kids, worked hard for everyone I care about, but now it's about what I need. I've become obsessed with butterflies just recently. Just built a butterfly garden even the It just dawned on me today, it's because I have been the cattapiller(sp?), just going along in life. Now it's time for me to become a beautiful butterfly. It's a my time!!!

Forgiven phone thinking it knows what I should write

It's not about how you look, it's about your health. Maybe he's a little insecure about you looking better and dumping him??? I've read been married 40 yrs a dear husband loves me no matter what, but he wants what makes me happy.

You go girl!!!!

Planning on getting infant eating utensils after banding.

The books I've read says to take bites no bigger than a pencil eraser. It should take 20-30 mins to eat a meal.

WOW!!!!!

Is this through insurance or self pay?

True, all Drs are different, but no Dr does surgery without having patient NPO from midnight before surgery.

Chill honey, I wasn't laughing at you! I was just saying I didn't post after your first post and I figured the guy had GB and had eaten. After reading your second post, I got it! But still was not laughing at you, more at myself for trying to figure 1st post out. We're all here for each other. Good or bad, funny or sad. I wish you well on your journey!

I figured the guy was having GB, but I still couldn't get the hamburger sighting,lol.

Will be looking for your post. Don't let us down.LOL
