Drinking while eating poll
Lady Lap Band replied to K@t's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Wow this is kind of split all over the board. I put rarely. I'll take alittle sip here and there but that is about it. I however am not all that good at waiting the whole hour after a meal. I am working on that. -

Hope I can actually hit my goal for once lol -
Hey!! Good to hear from you!!! The support group is the last Tuesday of every month! I am not certain of the time, I will let you know!! I am glad you like my blog, thanks for the kind words!!! Congrats on accomplishing your first goal!!! My first goal really is to just loose 50lbs! So I am only 15lbs from that. LIttle frustrated bc I lost restriction for so long but am sooo happy I finally have it back!! yay!!
-
Wow!!! Seriously wow! After a 3 month spell of no restriction due to the fact that I got something stuck and had to get a complete unfill, I am finally back to the point of restriction!!! It feels A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! I feel hopeful again and I feel like I can actually do this again! I have truley missed that feeling. This band is an amazing thing. For anyone out there who is still considering having it done, do it do it do it! Not much else to say I just wanted to share my excitment lol.

I have always considered asking my doctor for a c-section when I have children. Every aspect of the regular birth turns my stomach inside out haha. Just a poll to hear what others think.

It definetly it!! You will get there really soon and you'll be wondering why you were so upset!! =)
-
Don't worry betsty you will get restriction soon enough!! Take it from me, I went to fast with fills and got food stuck and had to have it all taken out and believe me you don't want that it was terrible!!! Slow and steady really does win the race in this case!! 6.5cc seems to be my magic number to really feel something, it is different for everyone but you will get there!!!! =)
-
Hey are you gonna go to the support group next month? I finally got a new job so that the hours dont conflict and I can make it for once! Would love to meet you!!!!

I know EXACTLY how you feel! After being banded for 8 months I feel like I should have lost more than 35lbs but I have to keep into consideration that it took me 4 months to get restriction and then at 5 months I had to have everything taken out and then it took me another 3 months to get back to restriction! So all in all I have not been restricted very much in the 8 months. I was feeling like it was another failed attempt at weightloss but trust me the second you get restriction you wont feel that way anymore!! Chin up!! =) www.ladylapband.com

Surgeon Consult Coming Up...Nervous
Lady Lap Band replied to kimclow's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
if you have waited the 6 months like they said and you have diabetes than that is a co morbititiy and as long as your BMI is over 40 I dont see how they could deny you!!! You should be all set, hope it all goes smoothly for you!!! -
Really all you have to do is exactly what the doctors say because they know what all the insurance companies want to see. Your doctors office should be submitting the papers for you, you shouldn't have to do anything! Your BMI really just has to be over 40 and I believe its like 5 years of weight history they look for also because they want to make sure this has been an ongoing problem and not like you just gained a bunch of weight. If you have any co morbitities like sleep apnea that just adds to the BMI and it pretty much seals the deal. My bmi was 41 and I have mild sleep apnea. I am certain it will all go through for you with no problems!!!

How long have you had your band and are you still happy?
Lady Lap Band replied to Beka's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Totally happy, best thing I have ever done! -
after the first one, yeah . Your stomach gets tougher the more times you get it done....I think its bc you build scare tissue and you dont feel it as much

I was banded on June 19, 2009 and I lost 35lbs pretty quickly. 3 months ago I was up to 7cc's and got something stuck and had all but 1cc taken out to allow it to pass through. Today I had a fill and am back up to 6.5cc's but I have not lost 1lb since I had all my fluid taken out. Partly it is my fault because I was upset I had to have everything taken out so I really was not exercising much. But, my inability to control my food addiction came right back when I had all that fluid taken out. I couldn't control my head hunger. That is when I realized that this band actually does DO A LOT!!! I did start back to the gym last week and have been really consistent with going, and I am feeling really good. I am starting to feel a little restriction again which feels amazing and I am so excited to get back on the weight loss train again after an extended 3 month "vacation". I guess I am telling you all this because it feels really good to be honest about what is happening to me and I am just hoping there are some people out there with words of encouragement, because Lord knows I could use them!! Thanks guys!!! :smile2:

You sound just like me!!! I have Aetna as well and I had such an easy time, they covered me 100%. Well I have a $100.00 co pay but seeing the surg cost $15,000 that is not bad! lol. I openly admit I am a food addict and I could totally not get this eating thing under control on my own. I was up to 7cc back in oct and was on top of the world I was down almost 40lbs and then I got something tuck bc I didn't chew well enough and just today I had a fill that brought me back up to 6.5cc but I have not lost 1lb since bc I was I got upset and stopped exercising and yatta yatta lol you can just imagine. But honestly the band works!!!! When I had the proper restriction which I am close to again it really works in helping you control not only ur head hunger but your boredom hunger too lol check out my blog www.ladylapband.com
