Anybody have FEHB and which plan is the best for coverage? Thanks!:clap2:

Who has had the most success with a FEHB--which plan. Same questions for plastics. Which plan has the bestcoverage? Thanks for your help

So is it true that if you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, plus other co-morbidities, that you rinsurance will cover the lap band? My son has UHC, with a weightloss exclusion, but if he has sleep apnea........... Any insight would be helpful!! Happy Holidays---Vickie

Many many Christmas (( hugs)) from me to all of you. I have so enjoyed getting on the forum over the last 7 months. I have learned alot and laughed alot and even shared some scenes from my lap band experiences that I just could not tell just anyone. (Not many would understand!) That being said--here is my cyber-space Christmas card and I hope Santa is good to you and a blessed New Year to all.

No-- you'll be fine. Make good choices, after my issues, I started eating alot of seafood--leave the breads alone. Plus you will have been banded a bit longer than I have at the time of my cruise. You'll do fine!

Well now I know who was ahead of me!! You had 2 helpings and I didn't get enough! And what little I did get is now drooped to my belly button so I just start at the bottom and roll them up and stick into the bra cup!! Also, one thing I do Is powder my rolls before they get into the trap and I also powder that ever-ready inner tube that is someday I'm sure going to keep me from drowning.

Glad to see this post. Please tell me though how you came to being diagnosed with errosion? I have read posts regarding having erroison, but nobody can tell me what caused it, how did you know it ectera. Please enlighten me as this is one fear for me.

I then recruited my husbands napkin!!! LOL! Which he didn't mind--he'd rather give it up than to look at me with grool on my chin!! Those slidey ones are the grossest. You know what I collected on the plane(s)?? Yep you got it!! The BARF BAGS! Hey those suckers come in handy in a predicament. Wish I could find them by the box. There is nothing worse than leaning over a public toilet--the barf bags are at least neater. So---if ya'all fly soon and don't use them grab them for me!!

Now wait a minute!!! I TRIED to be discreet!!! LMAO!

Yeah be careful with those fills---do a couple of test runs before you go out in public and attend the holiday events. You don't want to be the story for years to come------remember the Christmas of 2005----------those kind of stories run down into generations!!

Now THAT I like! My birthday is next week and we usually go as a family, kids, grandkids, MIL, to Outback Steakhouse. I think I will forgo this visit this year and go to Red Lobster instead. Can't trust my tummy with so many people sitting withme. (they don't know) I swear they must have wondered what the heck was up on the cruise when I excuse myself to go to the little girls room so often during a meal, (just in case, not always to PB. In fact I found that just the walk to the BR sometimes hekped whatever was stuck go down) and then the very next day comment how swollen I was--look I can't even get my ring off! (what a dumb a$$ I can be!!lol)

OK--don't want to brag, but I think I have the most embarrassing puke. We just recently came off a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean. Well, I think I had a PB with every meal, no matter what I ate. it was so fast, that all my reflexes did was get the napkin (they have nice, large, linen napkins) to my mouth just in time. Now, delimma, what do you do with the napkin????? Can't throw it away, somebody with the cruiseline would be sure to notice that, they are so attentive, I didn't want to leave it at my table, ewwww gross, not to mention that the servers REMEMBER you the entire week, so the few times that I did not make it to the bathroom,Imade it into the napkin and disposed of them very discreetly. Once as we were leaving the dining room, (for breakfast) I just happened to lean against a table that had not been cleaned off yet and put it there, (I know I know--sorry) The second time at dinner, they were having the wait staff sing and dance so people were up out of there seats and I managed to non chalantly wander over to the scrap bucket that they use and put it in there, the third bad time, I had my napkin with me as I was heading as quickly as I could to the ladies room, didn't make it but it all fit nicely in the napkin and when I went to the ladies room that one went into the trash. Since I have been home, I have not had issues, so I am assuming that it was the way things were prepared. I know the meat was dry, so I tried to stick to seafood. Oh what a nightmare!! Think they knew it was me??
