What and how much documentation did you provide?

I am 4 years post-op and want to get a fill. I have lost about 85lbs and need to lose about another 50. Just wanted to know if any has had a fill this far out?

:smile2: Count me in!

Hello Everybody, I have been gone a Loooooong time. I do miss you guys, I am just bad at responding. I have lost 62lb since being banded ( I did not realize that until just now) and I had a fill last Thursday that finally gave me restriction. I was beginning to think I would never get it. I am starting to learn what I can and can't eat. Before last Thursday I could eat what ever I wanted. Now things are getting stuck even when I chew chew chew and chew (except the things I shouldn't ie. chips or cookies). I am also having problems sleeping on my stomach. I wake up coughing bably, so I have to sleep on my back. Has anyone had this problem and will it go away? I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thank You Big Momma, I was banded on the 6th and was wondring the same thing because I was able to eat chuncky soup (veg). You are right it is just a short time in the rest of our life and YES I CAN DO IT!!!!!

Hello All! I made it home yesterday and I am doing fine today. Thank You BG for the BD wish. I was really happy to get it. This group is God sent. It helps with getting past the pain and knowing our future will be brighter because of this very important decision we made.:glare:

Monday I enter Bandland, Yeah!!!!!:smile2:

Hello All!!!!! I am sooooooo excited. Started Pre-op Diet 3/23 Pre-op Appt 4/2 Surgery 4/6 Yeah!!!!!

I am going to the nutritionist on Thursday to begin my pre-op diet. I can’t wait, because I am ready to start this new journey in my life. I will be banded on April 6 five days after my 40 birthday. I will begin a new era in a new way.

I will be banded on April 6. I am excited and anxious at the same time. :tt2:

My appointment is on 12/11 with Dr. Martin in Greensboro, NC and I am also excited. I was wondering what are some good questions to ask at my first visit?

Hello, has anyone used any doctors in Greensboro, NC or has anyone one used any doctors from BCBS centers of excellence?

Hello all. I am at the very beginning of this new journey in my life. I have attended a seminar and a support group meeting. I will be turning in my paper work in next week. I know I have to lose about 30 lbs before I can get banded because my BMI is about 58 and my doctor will not do the surgery unless it is 50. I would like to know if there are any banders in Greensboro, NC that would like to buddy up with me.
