  1. I need support! any advice for me I am at the start of my journy was banded on 6-30-09.. I am about the same size as u were to start... any advice would be great

  2. Hi there,.. I was banded on the 30th.. I am also nervouse about the fill. Can you feel your port? I am worried cause i havent been able to locate it. I thought I found it on my right said and I called to see for sure and they said no.. its on my left side...
  3. Hello all.... I was banded on 6/30 in overland park KS. I am doing so good! Only thing is I am disappointed i havent lost more.. down 14lbs. I see alot of people are down 20 from surgery and it make me wonder what I am doing wrong?
  4. Hey girlie! I had my surgery on the 30 and I am doing soo good! It wasnt bad at all! I had a lot of lower back pain which was worse then anything! So far I am only down 6 lbs! That is kinda disapointing... but I am sure it will come off soon!

  5. Hi everyone! I went to my one week appointment and I am only down 6lbs. I must say I am so dissappointed! I was down like 12 but they said that is normal cause when you go under for surgery there is a shift in weight! I dont know I geuss I am mad cause I dont eat even half of what I used to. I just started more walking today.. about 20 min on the treamill to start. I fell few days after surger and hurt my leg and knee so today was the first day on the treadmill. Anyone have any advice on how they are doing on weight loss.. I soo agree with all of you about the food. Its so hard to be around people when they are stuffing there faces! And the TV doesnt help either. At least I can have cottage cheese that so has helped me!
  6. I was banded on the 30th.. I am doing good but the liquid diet sucks

  9. Hello... lots of drama the past 2 days.. Well I got denied about a month ago because my mental health eval was over a year old. I did that and it been pending now for a week. I go into work on wed and my boss pulls me in her office to tell me that our company is changing its health inc July 1.. I break down in tears being so close... Then she tells me our inc is not covered for out of state... my sugery is out of state!!!!!!! Leaving the building crying.. So then today I find out our new coverage will honor it if my current incs did approve it and out of state is just out of network sooo alittle higher. Today I call my current incs just to see if it is approved and it is. I have them fax it to where I am having it done and they say I could have surgery next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Pray all my pre op goes well. This has been such a long Journey!
