    A Little Disappointed

    Thanks so much! I'm really trying to do this. I had a protein shake for breakfast this morning and I'm doing ok! I'm not much of a drinker period. I don't get near the amount of drink I need for the day so I'm really trying to work on this.
  2. My insurance won't cover the Lap Band. Right now in my life I just don't have the money to pay out of pocket. I was hoping that with this being a medical need they would cover it. I don't know what I'm going to do now.

    Very sorry to hear about your car wreck. I got some of the Protein shakes in the mail last night that I'm trying today. Not to bad. Do you have a favorite Protein shake? I'm going to try yet again to loose some weight on my own till I'm able to get the lap band done.

    A Little Disappointed

    I go November 19th to learn more about my options. I just called my insurance and they will not cover it even if it is a medical reason. I need to have my gallbladder removed and they will not take it b/c of my weight. At this point I can't do any working out b/c I'm in so much pain. I used to do zumba four days a week. I don't sleep at night b/c of the back pain I have. I have ordered some protein shakes to start trying to make some small changes to my life style. I need this change!!!!
  6. Do you have to use a certain protein shake or does your doctor pick that for you? I have a meeting with my surgeion on 11/19/2012 but trying to go ahead and change my diet to make this process a little easier. What are some good liquids that everyone really likes?

    Protein Shakes

    So I called my insurance today and they don't cover the lap band. I'm a little upset over this. I just don't have the money right now to pay for this. I'm hoping that something can be done b/c i have two specialist suggest the lap band.

  12. I'm going back in forth about having the Lapband System done. I have gallstones at the age of 27 and because I'm over 300lbs they won't take my gallbladder. My surgeon suggested the Lapband. I'm really nervous and scared and don't know what to do at this point. I'm having bad back pain and sick all the time from the gallstones. I would like to hear some of the pros and cons of having this done. Thanks so much for everyones input.

    Thinking About This!!!

    Thank you so much for your input. I have called to get a second opinion on the gallbladder. I really I'm thinking that the lap band is something I'm also really going to look into.
