Hello... the band isnt a miracle worker or a magic stick.Its a tool to help..you. But you have to make the efforts to help your self do it. If you dont work at it ...nothing will happen. Believe me we all want to eat cheetoes & ice cream ....& loose weight but no..its not going to happen. Its a everyday ..thing. Stop eating junk & think x10 before eating bad stuff. We all feel disencourange at one point ..but take a look through the pictures of the people who are working hard & maybe send them a message. Stop feeling bad for your self & walk...at least 15 minutes in the morning & 15 in the evening... it will make a difference. But stop putting junk in your mouth if you want results. You trully need to think of why you even went through the trouble of getting the band. Stop & think of what motivated you to get it in the first place....then grab a bag of lettuce when your hungry! I do it. You will see the pounds come off ... :thumbup:GOD BLESS YOU -
Congratulations !!! On your approval ...... thanks for the friend request!!

Anyone using Dr. Nishi at Cedars in Ca?
Mariposita78 replied to Lo4813's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hi.... I had my surgery at Cedars in LA ..but with Dr. Davtian. My insurance Blue Cross (PPO) approved it in less than 2 weeks... Im not familiar with Aetna but from what I herd most PPO 's do cover the sugery. But Cedars was a very nice expirience for me. Thet where awsome..:biggrin: -

Hey Gina
Welcome to lapband talk.. I wanted to respond to your post...I just got my band a month ago..I'll be honest its not easy. You have to learn how to do everything all over again..walk...eat..sleep & be ready to change your life. Ithink its an awsome tool to use to get rid of this awful weight that I'm carrying. Im sure it will do good for you too. I keep remiding my self of what could have been of me if I didnt do something about my weight. I'm happy because its only been a month and i'm already seening results. Just think of all the things that being over weight has kept you from & get ready to start doing them..Im ready..
I wish you blessings on your decision ...:thumbup: -
Yes...the site is cool.. I just started using it. They have alot of recipes & monotoring tools. My doctor is one of the best here in So.Cal. & he feels highly about both bands I think that its mainly the way you use it to help you. As well as the food choices you make...
