Wow so happy for you guys, I'm waiting to hear back for my surgery approval and I have tried body fortress strawberry protien powder from kroger or walmart and it is great!! Only cost 15 to 20 depending on where u get it and one bucket last about a month...try it...I hope to be telling you guys when my surgery date is soon!!!

I've done all my pre-op requirements and now it is just the waiting game on approval. Its out of my hands now and I feel out of control. I'm asking for prayers for approval if u guys can help!!! I'm so ready for this life change I have a BMI of over 50 and I know there is a sexier, healthier, and fitter me under this...keep me in your thoughts and if any of you have Cigna insurance about how long did approval take... thanks

Thank you so much I'm so happy for you keep me posted

Thanks y'all I'm so ready for this change

Only negetive was a gastric bypass person I know who says everyone that she knows that has the band has gained there weight back, and I had to tell her the same is possible with any weight loss surgery if you don't change your life style and more so with them because there is nothing restricting them and the stomach can strech back out and they can eventually eat larger quantities of food versus a band

I was not gonna tell my Bf because a few months ago she made a comment that she would never have surgery to lose weight and trust me, she is a big girl, but I decided to share with her this week because I had pretty much told everyone and love there support. I was surprised to hear her say that she had thought about it before herself and ask who I was going through. Sometimes people say crazy things and then when they step back and look at themselves they see how wrong they were sometimes!!!

Question 1 has you man ever gave you a reason to feel unsexy? If not my answer is let him do it once you experience this you will not care one bit about how u look, you are in the process of changing and he loves you the way you are also if a man is not attracted to you he would not even be trying to have sex with you let alone do something so intimate and special. All men do not do this!! So if he is asking at least try, cut all the lights out the first time and just enjoy the the sensation!!!

I'm going through the banding process now myself, I have a BMI of 60 and I don't have to lose any extra weight to be banded. I have to go to the nutritonist for three months while keeping track of my food, then I meet with the doctor, one support group meeting before surgery and 8 afte, I am looking forward to being able to wear shorts lol, I wish u luck. Check with your insurance and doctor to see what you qualify for, also look on youtube for over 200lbs succes stories I look at a few every night and I can not weight to be one of them!!!
