Yes with my first surgery I had Aetna.l would get that out of the way or prepare to....

Next!

Listen this is not a marriage counseling site.You are on your own weight loss journey and that what we are here to support you on...all this other nonsense about the fact that your husband doesn't compliment you is a waste of time.I am right there with VSGAnn....don't care about the woes and approval of your significant other compared to his comments about your son.No one can walk in your shoes.

This PCOS is rough!!!

There is a wealth of information on the internet,Studies and data.Research ,Ike crazy and discuss each procedure with your surgeon.Attend a seminar which allows you to meet people and gain more insight.The good this is you are on your way.,,to a better you!!!

Let me cut to the chase...Lapband is a living nightmare.I have had it since 2004...I was going for a revision to the sleeve but this is my 2nd and last WLS and I have decided to go with RNY....it allows you to lose the amount you need and if you are like me I don't have the time to lose a little?.i want the proven Gold Standard with the history of success and data....Do yourself a favor and research....I thought it was the band...then then the sleeve...finally I have it RNY.I am a few pounds shy of 300 no time to play games..RNY....but it's your choice.

This is going to work!!!!Congratulations...stay strong

I have a hiatal hernia that was picked up by the upper GI testing...the endoscopy totally missed it

Bronx,Westchester,Manhattan...soprano for life!

Newbie we need more info to respond...

My mother in law had the band. She hated it. food always got stuck. She got bypass and loves it. You made my day...I have had this band sine 2004 ....misery ...trying to get a revision to Bypass....Thank You....

I take Natures Vitality "CALM"...all natural... And get in a banana in a smoothie

Dhrguru...stop worrying about your husband...he is jealous and insecure about your weight loss...pay him no attention and stop looking for accolades..layout did this for you...your life and health.He sounds like he needs to get proactive about himself ....he is deliberately trying to make you feel bad...so his bruised ego can have the upper hand...give him your doctors's #...please do your thing....you are succeeding!

OMG Mrs.McButterpants What a guy!!!!Love him!!!!You are a lucky gal!!!!

Something about chicken with me...sometimes ok..other times...not good...rough...vomiting etc.This is commonplace with the band hoping that with the bypass it won't be this throwing up cycle.

I want to go on a plant based diet as soon as I get the revision....I like the 4 day vegan 4 days a week!!!Did you see a nutritionist for this plan or is it listed because I want to definitely look into it once I get this horrible band out and a revision to RNY....

Wow congratulations...60 pounds off??? that must feel great.In all my years struggling with this band I never achieved anywhere near 60 pounds off....mind you I need 100 pounds...you are on your way!!!!

Your age is no big whoop.YOU ARE TAKING CHARGE!!!!Thats what is important...get it done and live the rest of your life slimmer,healthy and actively happier...a sleek silver fox!Go for it!!!!

I have damage to my esophagus because of the band RNY for me.

Carol1965 You are doing great!Remember it is about the complete you.You are losing weight and knocking down those medications one by one and this is most important.Very important.You give me hope!Keep it up.

Carol1965 This is fantastic.,,,this PCOS is stubborn but you are doing great....it's about the complete you!!!!You are cutting the medications out one by one,this is fantastic...I am inspired and hopeful.

PCOS has been a hamper to my life...Hirutism,Weight issues....the band was not successful.I am heavy and fat and miserable...seeking a revision to RNY.

Revision has gotta happen.

A band?... Don't let them do a band!

I have Heard the same thing
