I met both my deductibles and could have gotten the surgery for 20% of the total cost and my fills would have been free but the decided to fire me for making an accidental mistake. It was there fault I made it too. I was just starting the long process when they let me go so now im trying to make it on my own. And on top of it all about a month before I was fired I was told I am insulin resistant. Now I cant afford my meds but the one really good thing that came out of all of this I got a membership to the YMCA for $11.40 a month and have been toning up and getting in better shape. I feel really good! Norton’s had a thing on tv tonight about insulin resistance and what to do about it and so far im going really well but my biggest enemy has been my eating. I want to all the time and salads don’t cut it I want heavy cheesy meaty stuff. The thing from Norton’s said that having too much insulin will do that to you. It will make you hungry all the time and make you want food high in carbs, so im glad it all makes sense but it sucks that I have to work twice as hard to loose weight because no matter what I do I will stay hungry so I guess ill have to get better self control and try and be even more active.

hollyncharm replied to toribug1's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
if you find out something good let me know. i wouldnt do ups. worked in small sorts for about 6 months and my back got really messed up i actually woke up one day and couldnt move my legs it was bad i had to go to the hospital and they said taht i had a pinched nerve and some other minor things but almost every day i woke up and couldnt upen my hands for like the first 5-10 minutes. it was really hard on my body -
sorry i have been gone so long. i was told that i couldnt get lapband because of my age so i put it on the back burner for a while but im about 5 months away from being old enough so im making calls and crossing fingers!!! i hope every one has been well!

hey every one i have notice that all of the people in the KY thread are like 50+ and I'm 19 and want some one close to here and close to my age who has or is going to be banded. if you have been banded then great you can talk me through some of the stuff and if you haven't they great we can go through it all together. i just feel kinda alone. my fat friends are happy for me and my thin friends don't get why i cant diet but none of them get how scared i am or what this band could mean for me.

i was half an hour late. there were three buildings and my directions told me plaza III west garage so thats where i went. that wasn't it. so i went to the next one. plaza II that wasn't it either but i didn't know how to get to the other building or even where it was so some nice older guy helped me out. i got there half an hour into it but no one seemed to mind. i was hoping to go in there and the Dr tell me, "well of course i will send the insurance company my approval!!" but instead they told us a million things that i already knew and sadly he made it seem like bypass that the best option. it made me sad. after about an hour of great grandmas asking the same questions over and over i had to leave. i had a migraine and i could have answered their questions myself. the Dr's assistant noticed me looking at the clock and come and asked me if i need to go. i told her yes but i have a question to ask. she looked at me funny cause this was the time that we were suppose to ask the Dr things but mine wasn't about the surgery. so i asked her. she told me that there isn't really anyway to get around the age limit but if i can prove that i am in a mature state of mind about this then i can probably get approved. she recommended the psych eval. so in about an hour i am going to call and set it up. i hope.

hey i just wanted to check in with you and see how its goin???? anything new and or exciting?
-
yes exactly that is what they did the few weight watcher meetings i went to. thanks i am keeping on it. my aunt is emailing me a list of every weight related problem my grandma, dad and aunt has or had. their are a lot of them. I'm going to use them along with some other things to wright up why i think i should be approved and why i want this. i really find it unlikely that that will not work. i WILL find some one willing to approve me! how is everything going with you???
-
i love that dress! you look great!i wish i had your ankles -
WOW you look just like my friend erica! i saw your picture and thought, "she couldnt get lapbad why is she on here?" take this as a compliment. erica is super pretty, just ask my boyfriend lol : D
-
wow you are looking so great! I'm so happy for you. I saw your before and after pictures yesterday and I had to comment! do you feel good about your self? i hope so, you should. what has been the hardest thing to change so far?
-
well its a relief to know that it will probably get better when i loose weight. I'm still keeping my finger crossed. if i can convince the person at the psych eval that I'm mature enough to make this decision i should be approved. i don't think ill have a problem with it but I'm still nervous!
I'm sorry you hurt so much. you really are an inspiration though. i thought about you last night at the seminar. the Dr was telling us that we need to walk for 20 minutes every day the first few weeks after surgery then add one minute of running/jogging and take of a minute of walking so your still doing 20 minutes but swapping out walking for running. the girl sitting next to me nodding like, "thats a great idea" so i told her about you prepping for the couch to 5k. she was impressed! i have decided that I'm only ordering salads when i go out. i eat out almost every day and on the weekends 2 or three times a day. so if I'm not eating at home its going to be a salad. and I'm going to start walking more. i started parking further away from things but now I'm just going to purposely go for a walk. i hope to get my body bug in a week!!!!! a girl on here is selling it to me for $200 and it comes with the subscription so all i have to do is renew it in a month! I'm excited!

Where the hell is my hip-fat?? An epiphany...
hollyncharm commented on redheather's blog entry in Even if the rest of the party couldn't tell...my clothes could!!!
lol omg "fat fort" thats the funnies thing ever i really laughed out loud at that one. so i have to ask during all of this planning and prepping for surgery what where your goals? what did you see in the future that can be attributed to the band? i want it to be thin and healthy and to prevent the weight related complications that are killing most of my family. i cant wait to loose the weight. i do get the self acceptance and change thing though. i know I'm a big girl but i don't think about HOW big, then when i walk past a store window and see my reflection I'm always a little confused cause i knew i was big but not that big. I'm just in myself and don't think about it so much. i think it is both sad and funny that you feel competition with other big people. you seem to have a great personality. try to celebrate this change. go do something with your self that you will like, like getting your hair colored a color you never had the guts to do or get it cut in a style you never had. i find things like that help me really look at myself differently like i am capable of change and it makes me feel excited. or if you change your hair all the time so buy a dress or if you where those all the time go get a manicure/pedicure just do something you wouldn't normally do that will make you feel good. -
how are you today? can you still walk? 60 seconds doesn't sound like a long time to run but it feels like it. even when i was in really good shape (i plaid volleyball for 5 years) it was still hard to do timed runs. i had a couch that made us do stuff like that every practice. when you run around the gym floor you know when its over and you can push yourself around the the next corner but if its timed the seconds move way slower than you want them to. i have been trying to work out but there is something wrong with my back. if i sit on the floor and put mu legs straight out in front of me i almost want to cry cause it strains my lower back so much. and if I'm sitting with my legs any way at all i cant curl my chin down to my chest cause that pulls my back and legs. my Dr is a quack and said their is nothing wrong with me I'm just our of shape but i hurt some much that i cant even walk some days.

i have really grown to love this site. there are about 5 people that i really like and take interest in their journey. i check the blogs every day and comment and some times they comment back. its nice. thanks to so many of you really giving me great advise i hope to leave the seminar tomorrow with great confidence that i will be approved. you all have given me encouragement so that i want to keep trying and your successes make me want it for myself, your advise leads me in the direction that i need to go and i just wanted to tell you all thank you for everything. keep your fingers crossed for me. my Dr is a butt head and wont approve it but lets hope the bariatric specialist will.
-
im excited but a little nervouse. i really wanted my boyfriend to go with me but he has to work. i would feel a million better with him there but you do whatcha gotta do. i need to go over the check list they sent me. i think i have have every thing i just need to get it in order.
-
i look at the before and after pictures every day and some times if that doesnt help i go and read the comments on the plastic surgery threads cause most of those people have lost 100lbs or more and that gets me pumped.
-
lol thats really cute!!! i work at geek squad and that is like every girl here! : D
-
lol i bought bigger towls.... i want that tooo though. i think about that one all the time. or like being able to sit in the chair at Dr. offices without getting my hips stuck. walking past store windows and not feeling huge from the reflection. not worrying about what is jiggling where when i do what. and the biggest thing is not having to pay more to get something in a bigger size!!!!
