I have humana.. IBM of 40+. must of been a six month doctor supervised diet.. and must have a letter from doc stating you weight is a life threating contition and must have a sleep apena test..... Iam fighting over the six month supervised diet rite now.......fun fun. this is what i was told adn had to get for mine. i have been on one but i think they are trying to make me have a recient one.

Emily, I have filled myself and I know the way you fill but Iam paying 100% of what i owe back and I have saved myself $350 a month over what i was paying out and everthing will be payed off in 5 years:). So I wish i had done it sooner instead of fighting it all these years. The way stuff is set up anymore its hard if you are on the lower end of the food chain. I need to be quiet or I'll proably makesome one mad but example cars i have to pay a high intreset rate while the better off get 0% financing...they say iam a higer risk ok i will go along with that, but didnt they even make me a higher risk by giving me such a high rate...hummmmmm......:second: WE ARE ALL PULLING FOR YOU!!

Sorry I cant help you. Iam waiting on having my surgery approved.. Iam going to Louisville.. at Norton health care.

maybe this thred will help, with the Protein drinks. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=16542 haavent had mine yet. I should have all the paperwork in this week i hope.

:faint:I went for my first visit and got my packet of paperwork. . I have to get several doctor reports, sleep apnea report. broken hip reports, diet reports. my own personal letter of why i want and need the surgery..fun fun fun.....but iam working on it.

Well there was a lot good info on both the lapband and gastric bypass, but I think the band is for me. we all got our packets to fill out and then they called today to tell me they gave everyone the wrong packets, and will be mailing them out.:faint: There is alot of info i will need to be gathing to send them back, Sleep test.:notagree been there and done that and failed...had to have the surgery. I had a tredmill a few months back and pased with flying colors:clap2:. Talked to buddy at work and he has lost 38LBS in about 4 months:scared: so maybe there is hope for me:biggrin1:..... been long day going to bed...

I go to my first visit with the doc the 18th and have to set threw a class and get my info packet. what can i expect at this visit and what kind of questions should I ask?

Thanks::biggrin1:

Bandy power......... the people on here are great.....

I have to also agree with Alex......and its a personal opinion.....but he is a very shallow person. weight has nothing to do with loving someone. here is my mouth full.....He has a contol issue, he is keeping you down so you wont leave him. He is the one with the problem... but he can control you by making you fell the way you do about yourself. I fell for you.... the bad part is you proably love him very much.... and he dont deserve it.....

The abandon one's, Life after abondoment, This is a tought one. Once a Bandy always a bandy come on peoples our X-bandy buddies need help with a name.... I like the poodles the best so far :clap2:

Linna I asked someone to smack me last week when i ate 3 hamburgers fries and tots:noidea: no idea why....but you know what i got was a group hugg.... :fencing:keep up the fight. I think we have all ben there. Photnut won the Million dollar prize when she answered the question. WHY? and i might add she was 100% correct with her answer. but you will have to ask her for her answer...lol i dont want to quote it wrong....lol so ahyway here is a hug, and continue on tomarrow is a new day.......:eek:

Alision, I would like to welcome you to group....I have not yet been banded hopfully MAy for me. Iam shure you will find all sorts of support on here, and alot of good information. welcome:clap2:

THe winner is :eek: photonut !!!!!! there is a IOU in the cup.

those things are NASTY. but i eat them to...YUCK another one of those WHY Questions. Iam going to try Jack's idea. why do we eat this junk?...if I could I would pay a million dollars if someone could answer it.

This is a great site and the people...well you will find out soon enough... I should have my surgery in MAy...I hope. Iam shure you will find alot of good information here..... dont be scard to jump in and post questions.

I have tryed Slim Fast but do not like it... and I have tried a powderd mix before,that you couldnt even get it to mix with a liquid if you put it in a blender.NASTY. But that was years ago.. So what is the beverage of choice.

I need answers,, the question is WHY? so you know i have not been banded yet... 18th of next month will see doc. I have done great the last few days on the diet thing... Then tonight at dinner I made a :hungry: Pig out of my self for a lack of a better word and why? " I wasnt even hungry and Iam not now but i could eat again.:cry I dont under stand.. I use to weight 170 when i was 25 now at 30 I was 190 at 42 iam 277 not counting tonights meal. I had 2 hamburgers, fries porky, beens. then I went out and had another hamburger and tator tots:angry and why? that is all I want to know. "WHY" now iam sick at my tummy. :sick and i have been doing so good all last week and over the weekend.

Thanks everyone Iam going to get some of this stuff over the next few weeks and see what I can come up with......Sounds like some of you have it figured out.:biggrin1:

looking fowared to hereing how it goes. looks like sometime in May for me

Today was not so bad....... grapnuts, 4 point TV dinner, thinking salad for dinner...and two more bottles of water before bed time....LOL I'll make it but I still dont understand why i do that sometimes its like i cant stop myself. I'll ge threw it go alot of friends to get me threw it, help to know the person you are talking to has been there.

This is a new day, and I have quit kicking myself...So I,ll get a fresh start today, and try again. Its just strange you do so good then its like somthing takes your body over. The only think i did different yesterday was i went to Mcdonalds and got a fruit and yogart bowl. it was good but i was hungery all day....maybe that trigered it... Iam going for the Banuet potrost today which is 4 points or a leanpocket for 6...... I have actually lost 25 pounds on this but i have gained 20 back...the only good think that came from it was my colestral went from 311 to 172 sorry for the spelling. got to get ready for work have a good day to all.

Ill have to try some of these. I dont go to the LB doc untill the 18th of next month. then the surgery sould be about 2 to 3 weeks after that they told me . Iam just trying to get a jump on things to see what i like and dont like.
