does anyone else on here feel "safe" with their band on...dont get me wrong i know u can gain weight back if u dont follow the rules....but i have this feeling of "safety" with my band...i'm sitting here eating a 1/2 cup of refried beans with some ground turkey mixed in it...and i know i cant eat more than this 1/2 cup...i feel safe from over-eating...

blue cross had one of their nurtrionist call me (not my surgeon's) and i mentioned to her that i wish i could've had my surgery at west hills bcuz it was so much closer to me...she mentioned they would cover my gas...meals and hotel...i never thought in a million years to ask....i went for my consultation on august 13th, 2008 and had my surgery on oct. 6th 2008...i probably could've had it sooner but i had to make my pre-op appointments around my job schedule...i was very happy with blue cross...they covered 97% of my surgery.... -
another inspiring picture....oooooo to b you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
thank u!!!!!!!!!! i'm scheduled for a panniculectomy...in august...my insurance is covering it due to skin irritation...a panniculectomy is not the same as a tummy tuck...they simply cut off the excess skin...there is no tucking...i will have to tighten my stomach...if i could afford a tummy tuck i would take that route!!!!!!!! i know ur going to do great with ur band!!!!!!!!!

Please don't think I'm judging just trying to understand

my friend had her bypass surgery about 6 weeks ago...so far ...so good....i was trying to talk her into the band bcuz i was worried about all the complications...she eats very greasy food and doesnt dump...her weight loss has been a lot slower than mine...i'm sure thats due to her eating habits...but i was surprised at how quickly she recovered...she hasnt tried sweets....but greasy food does not make her dump...maybe she is one of the lucky ones...maybe its too soon....we are the same height...i weighed 3 pounds more than her pre-op...she has lost 26 pounds in 6 weeks...i had lost 37 in 6weeks...bypass isnt always faster..... -

my surgeon's office and all my pre-op appointments were in west hills...my surgeon usually operates out of west hills hospital...but blue cross insisted i have my surgery done at a center of expertise...(uc irvine)...they covered my gas to and from the hospital...my sugery was late in the afternoon...so i had to spend the night...they covered my mom's hotel room and they covered my moms meals for 3 days....blue cross was GREAT!!!!!!!!!! my employer changed over to aetna and so far they've been great about covering my panniculectomy. -
First solid meal was not a good experience

i'm 7 months post-op and still have to b very careful when i eat red meat....when i do eat it...a cut it in2 tiny...tiny little pieces and chew it very well. -
how does it feel to look incredibly...beautiful...gorgeous and have the perfect body????????? -
i've seen a lot of members on this site with just as good if not better results than bypass patients...my friend is 6 weeks post op with her bypass and has lost 26 pounds...at my 6 week post op appointment i was at 37 pounds lost....we r the same height ... i started my journey at 296...she started hers at 293....so there u have it...its not a guarantee u will lose faster and more with the bypass...if u really work with the band...u can have the same if not better results...good luck with ur decision!!!!!!!

2Flyguys replied to Cheryl Ann's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
i can see a huge difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know how u feel though...my husband and i took pics over the weekend...and i said i looked fat in them....he ignored me and rolled his eyes....lol -
did u stop exercising? did u go back to bad eating habits? i'm always scared to death in the back of my mind that my weight will come back....i know if i keep exercising and eating the way i do now...it won't....but sometimes it still feels to good to b true....if u dont mind me asking...and if u did put ur weight back on due to lack of exercise and making bad food choices.....what made u go back??????? do u plan on getting back on the wagon...if so i wish u the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
