Lady Lap Band

I know, not all that many people voted! I tried to get everyone to vote. We have 76 people as it is in our group and I posted a thread about going and voting for their favorite name! I know some people did. I even went to a lot of people's pages and left them a link to go vote....I don't know how many did vote from that but only 2 told me they did. O well I tried! As far as I have seen there are over 100 June Bandsters now.

haha you are too cute! I think it closes tomorrow 5/28

Mine said 3/9/2009-3/9/2009 I didn't call them because that is the date that your surgery was approved for coverage. I don't know why they write it like that. But I don't think you need to call them. My surgery is next month and it's all good.!

Hey my name is Breanne and I am having the lap band surgery on June 19, 2009 and my surgeon is Lelan Sillin! I'd love to chat with others who have had or are having this surgeon!

Hey! Well let me see....the first time I met with Dr. Sillin was about 3 months ago....end of February I think. He's a nice man. Pretty quiet. Not like an outwardly friendly man, he seems reserved. But seems pleasant. I see him again on the 9th, 10 days before surgery. You know it all gets sort of repetative. He will just go over how it all works. He talked about bypass and banding, and if you ask him he'll tell you what he thinks is better for you. He told me the band because of my age. He'll ask you if you have any questions and he does feel around on your stomach....I think to see how much room he'll have in there to operate. How much weight did they tell you to loose pre-op? They told me to loose 10-15lbs. I didn't do that. I think the only reason they scheduled me was because I am right on the line with a BMI of 40....but I strongly suggest loosing what they tell you becuase I don't think they normally schedule the surgery until you have. I have aetna too, they were so easy for me! Approved really fast! Feel free to write me back here or private message me anytime!

Here's another question seeing the poll seems to be leaning toward "Only when medically necessary" If woman have the right to choose as far as having an abortion goes, why don't you think they should have the right to choose on this subject?

I started with my dietician in June 2008, they wanted me to to all the same things they wanted you to do, they also wanted me to loose 10-15lbs! Well guess what, I started at 250lbs and my surgery is in 4 weeks and I still weight 250lbs! I'm eating the right things, just not the right amounts. I portion it all out, and then I go back for more. I feel awful every time I do this, but I am just looking forward realizing that, this is what the band is for, it will help with my portion control! Don't worry!

I know I love meeting people who live pretty close! It will be fun to see how things go for the both of us. I am having my surgery done at Lahey Clinic Burlington!

As long as there doctor says so, I think they should be able to!

hey I live in Tyngsboro, MA! 30 minutes north east of boston. I am having the surgery 6/19!

I believe in God. Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior! Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
