Congrats to you, but I do think that that many do this becuase they want to prevent themselves from getting so unhealthy that they end up where you are. I do not think that one should have to wait until they have one foot in the grave to make this decision. It's all about wanting to live healthier at any stage. Glad to have you as an example of someone that has been sucessful.

20weeks pregnant and Banded
blackhawkhunnie replied to diyes2's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I was worried my baby was not getting enough nutrition, but my dr. said not to worry the baby will get all it needs even if it pulls from my fat stores....he thinks this is what was happening b/c I was feeling so drained and had no energy. He said I was the one not getting enough nutrition. So he took out 2 cc (already took out 1.6 2 months before) and immediatley my energy level was back up and I feel like I can eat heathier b/c I am not supplementing with unhealthy things like milkshakes. Talk to you llapband doc....that relly helped me. -

Majot anxiety about weight gain, 6 wks preggers
blackhawkhunnie replied to myturn0421's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I feel exactly the same, I am 8 weeks, gained 4 pounds so far and freaked out! I am so sick of everyone saying it is normal to gain weight, its baby weight, and everything will be fine....ugh....no one around me knows what it feels like to struggle your entire life, make the decision and go through all that we go through during and after surgey and the fears of gaining it all again and going thru this crazy fight to get it off again!!! I have been so very down, my OB is giving me a list of docs to talk to during this time b/c I am getting so dipressed. I am sorry you band had to be let out completely. They only took 1.6 cc out of mine and I can eat alot more but still too tight to hopefully gain....my band doc is keeping a close eye on me and willing to fill and unfill as much as possible to make sure I ONLY gain baby weight and no fat....talk to your band doc, maybe soon you can try refilling a little at a time. Hang in there, your not alone..... -

Also, with Tricare the rules are different too...if you have a military doc they will know the qualifications but most civilian docs dont.....Tricare requires you weight double what they consdier to be a normal weight. OR if you have a 40++ BMI with 2 MAJOR comorbities.....good luck and dont stress

OK, I see it did not go thru, let me see if I can type this again.....Dont worry too much, its not so bad. They just want to be sure you know what you are getting into and that you are not looking for a quick fix....let them know you have tried everything, be honest. Also, they want to ensure that you have a support system and that you do not have family or friends fighting you on doing this. They want to be sure you are not suicidal or that you have the tendency to lose it, mentally. They are looking for previous mental illness or problems. Just let them know you have a good support system, how you have tried everything and need this to be healthy. Just talk like you would to a friend. I cried and laughed during the entire thing. They will ask about your childhood, parents, current life, etc. Don't stress...you will be fine, good luck!!! Let me know if you have any more questions....sorry if there are lots of typos, I hate this keyboard!!!

I have used Stevia for years, you can buy it at the health food store or at Whole Foods, way cheaper than the Truvia brand. Just look for Stevia.....It's much healther, all natural no chemicals.

Warning against Mexican Doctors!!!!
blackhawkhunnie replied to Liz1531's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I did not have mine in Mexico, and mine was approved by insurance, but I am a military wife and move often......this situation is the case no matter if you had it in Mexico or not, I had a heck of a time finding a doc that would take me in Virginia after having surgery in Colorado. Also, I had to pay higher fees too! Doctors do not like to work with other doctors work in any case, not just Lap-band. I agree with the others, do research BEFORE you have surgery!! -
