I feel like I'm starving all the time now and I'm still only in liquids phase only. Does anyone know if cottage cheese or yogert would be ok to introduce to my system know. I need something to sure the hunger for a little while atleast. Slimfast shakes are not cutting it...

I guess everyones pain is different. My pain scale never really went past a 6 and that was only when I was getting up or down. It's been 3 days now and I'm feeling good>> Everyone is different and was told if you had a c section you could take this with no problems. Bu ti never had one so I don't know. My husband had a much harder time with his pain then I as well so really everyone is different.

My husband was banded Last month and had returned to work building topdrives for the oil field. Do any of you know of the weight requirements and pressure requirements that we should look out for. I know he has only worked a few hours, and is in alot of pain. Also is tylenol the only one that makes the adult liquid? Has anyone else gone through anything like this after returning to work?

I know all about the above I hate the pull down the shorts thing. I still wear the shorts and do like a little dance when I pull them down so know really knows what I'm doing. You think it works?? My mother always laughs at me when I do it. I can't stand to be hot though and the more I have weighed the harder it is for me to cool off. I go around the house as though I weigh 115 who cares though it will change soon enough.

michelle lowrey replied to cabux's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Ok so here is a question I'm set to be banded on May 18th 07 I assumed also that fills to were included. On lapband solutions website it says that if you self pay 15K your fills are free for a year. Soes this mean that if your insurance covers you have to pay for fills. Does anyone know how much the fills are at Lapband solutions - Houston? -
I'm going to be banded on May 18th. I wish it was tomorrow. I'm at 275 all time high. I have been overweight since I was 8 or 9 years old. Just getting crazy big now though and I'm a very stressful eater. I'm hoping that this will help. I think as long as I follow the eating directions how could it not work. My favorite thing to eat is my meat so I should not have a problem. I'm so excited I can't weight haha wait!!

Hey Everyone I'm going to be banded in May 07 and I'm wondering if any of you who have already been banded have seen any changes in the way you were treated in the work place. I have heard that people have received more promotions and etc after being banded and losing their weight.

BMI 35 NYer Hoping to be banded soon
michelle lowrey replied to Sooverit!'s topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I too am looking to be banded soon. My BMI I think in high enough to be covered. The place that is looking into my insurance said that United Healthcare usually does not have a problem covering the band. Did any of you use United Healthcare and what was your experience?
