I personally wouldn't want it below the the waist of my pants, Not my collarbone... Mine is about 2 inches below my left side ribs, can't see it.

I had to pay my surgeons fee of $3500. and my Hospital Co-Pay of 1,500 Upfront. I have united Healthcare Choice plus

Thanks, it's alot of hard work as you well know, but so worth it. I feel so much healthier, and happier then I have been in along time. and Nope wasn't me asking about curtains, although I do need to buy some.:wub:

WOW I never thought I'd hear that from another person, but my DH is the same, totally freaks out if you tocuh his belly button and says he wants to puke also.... :cool2: I guess I will stop teasing him from now on.

I've only had 2 fills, last one was Feb 26th. I have 4.5cc in my 10cc band. I cancelled my fill for today as I don't really need one yet, I am still losing, I have a little restriction and I sometimes get stuck. I am trying to work with the band and not depend on it competely for my weight loss. It is a tool to help me regain my life.... Great Job Indiogirl, You Rock!!!

220 was my 2nd wedding weight sept 6th 2003

I dont think AI is as good as the years past. and this singing songs of really really older singers is whack. Let these kids pick for them selves what to sing. Just my own opinion...

Everytime I see my surgeon for a fill, I remember that I paid him an awful lot of $$$ to see me naked!!!

I'm a manager at an Old Navy.

Cobra will cover it as long as it's in your policy. Meaning that the cobra policy is the same one that you had before, and if WLS is included then Yes it will cover it.

I am stuck at 189, But I did buy new pants in a size smaller this week, size 14 at Gap. I also have to go out and buy new bras, my c cup ones are too big. (My girls have never been big) sigh Great job everyone.

Your going to do great!!!!!:thumbup:

I'm staying on plan today because when I lose 10 more lbs I will no longer be obese, just overweight.

My DH's aunt has bypass 4 years ago and lost 200 lbs, then promply regained at least 50 back. she probaly weighs 250 right now. Granted she is thinner then before BUT she is also one of those people who wont exercise at all, not once has she. not even walk. She asked my why my skin wasn't swinging in the wind like hers. exercise really helps me and sure I will need a TT , and my arm wings wave at people But I am a true believer in exercise. My band is a tool , just a tool that I am using to help me lose and keep off the weight. She still refuses to exercise. Said if she wanted to exercise she wouldnt have had the surgery. Sigh oh well you can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves...

Great job Bandpal!!! I love reading your posts also. I really have to work on eating slower, it never fails I will be eating and talking to DH and then I just swallow and take another bite and then Oops, I get that stuck feeling, the eyes Water, and the DH backs up, out of PB range. I am supposed to get a fill next week, but think I am going to reschedule as I dont want to be TOO tight and I am still losing 1-1/2 lbs a week. Keep up the great job everyone.
