I was banded on 10/22/08 and have been going to the gym on regular basis about 6 weeks now. I just saw a post on another website stating should not be doing situps? Anybody out there know if this is true.

My husband and I both had surgery this year. Mine was on 10/22/08 and his on 12/23/08. We had cinga insurance. they gave us a little scare with my hubby, denied him but we appealed and they came through. Made no sense to me since his bmi was 55 and mine was 38. I was diabetic though.He has a cpap machine for sleep apnea.

Just checking in. Had my surgery on 10/22/08 and have lost from 206 day of surger to 188 today. Just joined a gym couple of weeks ago. Have found muscles didnt know I had. Ha I am having a little trouble getting in my protein with just 3 meals of 4-6 ounces. find myself snacking to get the last of the protein in. Not sure how to avoid this. Not much will power. I had my first fill 11/18 and scheduled for a second one on 12/16 hope this helps.

Keep in mind that you are probably having non scale victories. I measured all parts of my body on 10/13 the day i started preop with my surgery on 10/22. I just measured again this morning 3 weeks later and i have lost 17 lbs but have also lost at least 2 to 3 inches already!!!

I live in Lewisville, I was banded on 10/22/08 . today is my first day to add soft mushies. I had minimal pain. The gas is was best worked off for me by walking. I have a treadmill in my living room from one of my former diets. I have started back to work past Friday. I have lost 16 pounds so far.

I was banded on 10/22 and have lost 7 lbs since surgery. i lost 8 in the 10 day preop. I am so looking forward to sunday when i will introduce soft mushies. I am below 200!!! my goal is 140 .i am diabetic but have already reduced my meds. hope to be off soon.

I only did 9 days preop just because i was in such a hurry to schedule my surgery. Dr Benavedes let me do it. I had my surgery last wednesday 10/22

Hello, i was just banded on the 22 of oct. All is going pretty well and i attribute most of that to the Lord and all my friends prayers. I tried to get into habits before surgery of chewing more thoroughly and slowing down. This helped a lot. I am of course just on liquids right now but am not having any hunger yet. Probably the swelling from surgery. I live in Dallas Texas area. My dr is DR Benavides. They have great aftercare! I will get my first fill on Nov 18th. Hang in there and your turn will come. Remember, I can do all things through Christ.

Its finally here. I leave for the surgery center in about a hour. I started this with a seminar back in Feb when i met my surgeon Dr Benavides. He is great. Best wishes for anyone else out there having surgery today.

I made it ! I have a surgery date next Wednesday 10/22/08! I am using Dr Benevedas in Dallas Texas. Started my preop diet yesterday.

I have Cigna just got approved today! I had to do 6 months supervised diet. I have bmi 37 and one co morbidity type 2 diabetes. It took a grueling 30 days for my approval to come after i met the requiements. I start my preop diet Monday I am in Dallas Ft Worth area. I am using Dr Benvidas. Did my requirements through AIGB.

I just knew I was going to have mine in September because i had just finished my six months requirement. Has all my appointments for nutritionist, psch eval everything and now have to sit and wait on insurance approval. My bmi is 37 but i also have co morbidity of diabetes. My insurance is Cigna. It is driving me crazy waiting on the approval . Definatley hoping for October now. My hubby is about a month behind me in the whole process.

Restless Monkey, i am waiting for insurance approval hopefully in next week. I was diagnosed with a fatty liver about 4 years ago. what will my preop have me do different.

I have just finished my insurance requirements and am waiting for approval. hope to get banded soon. some people in my church feel like should not have any kind of surgeries . it makes you hesitant to tell many. on the other hand a lot of my friends at church our my biggest supporters because of prayer.

I have just finished my six months prerequisite and all data has been submitted to my insurance. Hoping for approval this week. My husband is about one month behind me. We are so looking forward to getting started.
