    Banded March 18th!!!

    So I had my first fill today. I found out there was 2cc in my band already and 2cc were added today. The process was pretty painless, but it did take awhile because my port was deep and low. I have plateaued so i am hoping this will give me a jump start. I'm on liquids for the next 3 days and softs for 2 days after that. I am hungry so I'm hoping these few days so by pretty fast.
  2. Hello, how are u, first I got the dress from Lane Bryant (my favorite store). Surprisingly I lost the 31 lbs during my 6month required program with the surgeons office. I totally followed the diet the nutritionist gave. I could have lost more if i excercised, but i'm trying to change that now since I had the surgery. I felt the same way, i was so afraid i wouldn't be able to lose the required weight, but every time i went to my nutritionist appts i would lose more even when i thought i gained. That was a big motivator. My surgeon suggested the bypass as well, but i wanted to lose it slowly and i like me curves too, so i am ok with the band. Once those first few pounds start coming off before the surgery you will get a boost of confidence knowing that you can do it, since this is only a tool. I say go for the band, it's going to take discipline, but i say that will motivate u to keep it off.

  6. I am currently a Citi employee and had the surgery on 3/18/09. Since your coverage starts on day 1, you should be ok, there was no issues with Citi, i just had to work with the insurance company for approval. I believe the insurance is different from state to state. Once you pick an insurance company i would give them a call to find out what they require.

    My first fill isn't until May 5th. I really didn't want to wait that long, but my surgerons office is quite busy.

    March 18th, anyone?

    Hello everyone, i am not new to this forum, but this is my first time posting. I was also banded on the 18th of March. Everything went suprisingly well for me, just a little dehydration. I already have my first fill scheduled for May 6th. This was the best decision i ever made.
