  1. Happy 42nd Birthday dotofoz!

  2. 5 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 5th Anniversary dotofoz!

  3. Hi there! Do you still have the sheet from BCBS about what exactly is covered? I work at the VA and have BCBS Basic which I know covers the surgery, and the pre-op stuff, but I'm trying to figure out if they cover fills post op? Did they give you a hard time with the approval? I have a BMI of 40, but no co-morbidities, so I'm a little worried they'll give me a hard time with the approval.

    Protein Shakes

    Try UNJURY.com, they're pretty good....Plus you can order samples w/o buying a whole tub and it going to waste if you don't like it!!

    How to shower?

    Wrap your mid section real good in plastic wrap and you should be OK. That's what I did and it worked out well and didn't need assistance from anyone.
  6. Well, I did the 2 week optifast pre op diet, dreaded it, but I lost 9 pounds. I really ended up liking the actual drinks so much I bought some off someone else and still use them in smoothies!

    Skinny Feet!!!

    Well, I'm down (unofficially) 44 pounds and I'm SWIMMING in my birkenstocks that I bought almost a year ago! Hopefully this info helps!
  8. When I was there (in 1989) there was a mideval restaurant in the top of Cinderella's Castle and it was WONDERFUL!
  9. Well, I experienced all the graphic instances from the first post from the original RX dose. I couldn't tell you if I ever lost any weight or not. I guess it is like the band, if I eat too much, wrong foods, don't chew well, etc, I get a stabbing pain on my breast bone like someone stabbed me w/the end of a metal baseball bat. Needless to say, I try my hardest to follow the band rules.
  10. Well, I too have had issues w/the zoloft! Just about 2 weeks ago, I took my pills and ended up with the sliming and horrible pain on my breast bone, much like when you eat too fast. I tried to throw them back up, but didn't work. Just had to deal with it....

    A thread for Single Bandsters

    Alysa, my dad had a quad bypass (each artery 95-99% blocked) in 1985 (when I was 15) and he still loves to exercise and tries to take care of himself too. I'm sending good vibes your way, God Bless!

    A thread for Single Bandsters

    Well, I have an update. I previously posted about the guy I dumped for my now ex husband about 9 years ago and he now returned the favor to me. He "is not ready for a relationship", well he should've thought about that when we were at his house the other day, and I'll leave it at that. What a bummer! I guess karma D O E S exist. I was more upset over him (crying in my cube yesterday) than I ever was over my ex husband! Go figure. Just need some support here. I wanted SO BAD to go home and eat, eat, eat, but I didn't, as tempting as it was.....I had delusions of grandeour I guess. :help::cry

    Support in Sandusky?

    Where did you have your surgery? They should have a list of places.

    optifast & plane ride

    Now that I think about it, there ARE blades in that thing, rather small, but there are still blades in there.....I'd go w/the shaker cup to be safe!

    optifast & plane ride

    I"d call the airport just to be sure so you don't have it confiscated. Yes, I know, 'sit down all, or I will blend you a really BAD protein smoothie if you don't comply with my requests!'
