Hi Amy! I'm by the coast near Coast Hwy. & Oceanside Blvd. I also lost weight in the past but have a difficult time keeping it off. I'm glad to know someone else considering lapband at UCSD. Have you had the initial consultation? Let me know if you have any questions. So far, I'll have my last "weigh-in" on Feb. 9; then my paperwork is resubmitted to my insurance company--hopefully, all will go well & be approved. Talk to you later! Kara

Hi AmyUSMCwife, I'm also from Oceanside, and I'm also in the UCSD program. Right now, I'm in month 5 of my 6-month supervised diet (required by my PPO), and I'll have my final "weigh-in" on Feb. 9--then UCSD will resubmit the paperwork to my insurance. By the way, I'm very impressed with the UCSD program & staff. Best of luck on your weigh loss journey!

Just wanted to say "hello" to everyone! I started my journey on September 08, and I just completed the 5th month in the 6-month supervised diet...so far, so good. My last weigh-in will be on Feb. 9, and then my doctor will resubmit my paperwork. My doctor feels that my insurance should approve it, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. If all goes well, I should be banded in late March. Just curious if there is anyone with a late March or early April surgery date--or anyone who is having surgery at UCSD. I would love to have a "support" buddy to help motivate each other during the dreaded pre and post liquid diet--and with weight loss.
