excellent thanks all. i have yet to have one or get stuck(knock on wood) but now i know what it means. :confused:

but what does PB stand for? peanut butter yes i know to you smart a$$es haha. Puke B----- i just cant get what it stands for.

Excellent thanks. I will try that. oh when you going to put some pics up luluc?? haha:biggrin:

ok so you recommend that if i hiccup i should just stop eating right there?

Dont feel discouraged. I had aetna and went though this. It all depends on your BMI now. Mine was 40.1 so they wanted me to just maintain during my 6 month diet monitoring which was easy to do.

matalo how much weight have you lost? plus do you get your 64 oz of Water in?

ok then i stand corrected. congrats on your surgery. I just get weary by seeing someone with 3 posts and sounding like a sales pitch haha.

I always get kinda irked by posts like this. How do we know your even real? you could be someone from Dr. Zapata's office trying to sell his services. Well if you are real welcome if not i wish you would stop because this kind of advertising is just sad. my 2 cents.

I am in Keller. Where are you guys having your surgery done? I was at Baylor Southwest. Dr Barnes was my surgeon.

quick question....you had a pb because of something you did right? Not chew well? eating too fast? If i were you i would keep the dinner plans and just hang out with everyone there and fill up on soup before you go.

this is what i saw when i was researching a fill: Good vid shows the process. And no it doesnt hurt...only a small pinch then you have to drink some Water to see if you keep it down. If you puke thats a bad thing.

I had a BMI of 40.1 and only comorbidity was mild sleep apnea and I qualified with Aetna. You should be fine!! GOOD LUCK!!

ok because my BMI was 40.2 i was told to just maintain. So i went each month and met with the nutritionist and learned the steps that would help me while having the band but I was told just to start eating as healthy as i could(which didnt mean squat because I was on my farewell tour of all the fastfood places outthere). But every month for weigh-in i stayed steady. This is all they are looking for. They dont want to see you drop 20 lbs because then the insurance company will say....hey they dropped 20 lbs making changes we dont need surgery for this person they can lose the weight on their own. So my advice is be honest with the nutritionist and I wish you good luck!! My 6 month pre-op diet was a breeze.

I will be getting the band in November <fingers crossed> if all goes to plan. I am 31 years old, 6' 1" weigh 300lbs. My goal is to lose about 100lbs. My beautiful wife and mother of my 3 children is also 31 years old. Still looks beautiful but like many other women after giving birth has gained weight. She is 5' 9" and weighs 200lbs. Here is where I feel I maybe stuck my foot in my mouth and was rude to her but it was not my intention. I suggested that she also have the lap band done so we can take this journey together. Of course she was not very happy about that. I mean we have been together since we were 14, I have seen here at 18 when she had an AMAZING BODY :smile2: but at age 25 when we had our first child she started to pack on the pounds. She says she wants to lose it on her own but we have both tried that. I don't know......maybe men just don't get women sometimes..... HELP!!! :thumbup:

How big? Don't know what your body looks like. Its a tough call. I would get it on the back of your neck if you have long hair you can cover it if ya want.

oh man please do not use them!! I used them for my dental surgery and you will end up paying double in the end for the surgery. as far as credit limit extension it is based on how well your credit score is. How short are you?
