Anyone know if health insurance will cover a tummy tuck after weight loss? :thumbup:

Hee hee!!!!!

Was banded July 08 - 78 pounds down and 40 to go!!!! Now how to fix the sagging boobs and tummy??

I have 2 cc's in my band. Dr Hoffman says slow is better - in both fills and weight loss. I read the posts on this thread every day and it helps me stay on track - or at least get back on track when I stray! I thank all of you!

I'm down about 60 lbs. Not bad but sooooo slow!

I got my band 07/14/08. Saw Dr. Hoffman Tuesday (06/09/09) and got my 2nd fill. I finally feel restriction! Not bad like a few of you experienced - but it's there! I was beginning to doubt restriction was a real thing! Got a bad itchy rash from the injection, I think maybe from the numbing stuff...

I had my surgery 7/14/08. I was told I had sleep apena and needed not a c-pap machine - but a bi-pap machine! It cost me $185 a month - I had Univera health ins. - I turned it in after surgery also! I have lost about 60 lbs and sleep through the night now & don't wake up tired with a headache!

Linda, Thanks! The next support meeting is 10/15 at BGH, right? What time?

Is the support group open for everyone? ( pre and post bandsters) I went to the seminar before surgery, is this different? I could use some post support. (My surgery was 7/14/08) What is discussed at the support meeting?:crying:

The first week after surgery is wonderful! A new start to our new lives!

My appt. is at 9:00 on 10/7. It would be nice to meet a fellow bandster! Thanks for the definition of PBing. I think I have semi-PBed! Congrats to all who are having surgery! To me it was very exciting-now I am trying to figure out how to use it.

What is PBing?
