Rhonda! Welcome! I put you on the list, you and kathy are both lonely on your Bandday!
-
KathyStrick, it looks like you are still the lonely 18th. Wonder Why? OH, there is only one on the 13th too. But that is Friday the 13th. I wonder if Batassbandita is a real person, I have never seen other post by that person. Good luck to everyone! The list keeps growing and I expect it to double in the next few weeks!

insurance denied need help
cathychatts replied to annetsteph's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had to have my doctor re-send the diet papers showing 6 months consecutive, and i had to show a weight loss of 10%. I had done it, but the papers were not together. We resent them and it was approved in hours! Good Luck. PS There is no way to get around doing the 6 months, all the companies are very strict about that! -

Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
cathychatts replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
THANKS! Judy, Janet, and Becky You all are so sweet! I feel sure I will be ok. I just don't want to delay my surgery, :glare:and I don't want to give up my spot for Dr. Ponce to be doing my band! I feel great today and the swelling is going away. You are so right Janet, :thumbup:the band will help me if I do have CHF. Weight loss will help all my ailments. Becky, I do have asthma :woot: along with allergies. I have several food allergies and I think there is a possibility that I may have eaten something to cause the swelling:blush:. I mentioned this to my PPC, but she wanted to check this out to be safe since I am having surgery and some of the symptoms were not normal for food reactions. I am slowly beginning to loose the fluid and able to move around a bit better. Thanks again for your prayers :wink:and encouragement! You are all such a blessing! I will keep you informed and there is a special prayer going up for a special blessing on all of you! -
Who's getting banded in June

Less than a month away! Thoughts,feelings, pre op?
cathychatts replied to rearea1222's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
:wink:Hi Everyone: I am very excited! My surgery is to be 3 weeks from today! I have a bit of a road block with a new problem with blood pressure and my heart, I pray it is nothing. They are looking at test today to rule out congestive heart failure. :thumbup: But I feel certain it is a fluke! I am on lasix to help with the fluid, but they are not going to put me on blood pressure meds now, because my bp is normal, it was only up for a short time, but the fluid is not going away.. I still think it will work out fine and I will get banded on the 6th:thumbup: ANYWAY... back to the subject at hand, Cadets, I wanted to tell you how I fix my protein shakes. I got a small drink blender from Target, 19.95, it is used for frozen drinks. I put a half cup of ice and then either water or milk (or in my case soy milk) and make a really cold, icy milk shake. It is wonderful! :thumbup: I like muscle milk brand, chocolate is my favorite. I get it at GNC. I have also tried the shots of liquid protein, CNP ProSlam has 45 grams of protein and they are ok Will be good right after surgery.:thumbup: I will be interested in hearing whaat you all have to say about diets and progress. This support group is VERY IMPORTANT to me!:thumbup: -

Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
cathychatts replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am so ready for surgery and June 6 is actually my second date.:thumbup: I was originally scheduled for May 14 (I would be banded by now) I was rescheduled so I can have the new Realize band and Dr Jamie Ponce (a lap band pioneer surgeon) is flying :plane:in to do the surgery with my doctor, Dr. Kramer. Anyway, last Thursday I went to have allergy shots and mentioned to the nurse that I was swelling. :thumbup: My blood pressure was 162/90. I have never had blood pressure problems. It stays around 120/80. I haven t added new medications and no new stress. :thumbup: I went to my PCP today and she did more test, she says I may have congestive heart failure :scared:and will have to postpone my lap band! They did x-rays and a PNP blood test, I will know more on Wednesday. If the tests come back good, I am ok and can have surgery. Please! :pray2:Pray they come back good! :thumbup: For now I am going to stay positive! :thumbup: and believe it is just a little bump in the road! -
So Glad for you!
