Hello, good to hear from you. Congrats on your surgery date, as for me I'm not gaining which is a good thing. I have only lost around 16 lbs, haven't had a fill yet, I'm going on Dec 14th for a fill and hopefully things will look up for me. I can eat just about anything if I'm not careful, I do get full faster that about all

Hey Cloteal,
It has been a trial for me but what I have found is that I will not be able to eat breads. It is going to be a test. The other thing is trying to fit in exercise everyday. A couple of weeks ago I started exercising everyday and the pounds came off but as soon as I stopped it came back it did not take use a couple of months to gain the weight. Keep trying it will come off. My problem has been sweets and you know Hallowen and candy. I took my grandson out and eat a few peices but I have to refrain from this or all of this would have been for nothing.We will keep eachother encouraged through this because no one knows better than we do about the situation we are going through. Keep your chin up it will get better. Watch what you put in your mouth. I think that I will start journaling . Well hope things are going well and I will talk to you later. My email address is gnstaton@yahoo.com, email me sometime.

Hello Cloteal,
How are things going, hope that things are going well. The weightloss is slow and I am trying to figure ways to speed it up a little. I was told that I am on target as far as the 1 to 2 pound loss a month. Seems everyone that was banded with me has passed me and running for a new goal. I guess I'll have to be happy with what I have done for myself. Keep in contact

Hello Stajin good to hear from you. I am doing pretty good myself, today is the first day back to work for me. I started walking myself only a mile though until I can build up to atleast two miles. I'm now down 16lbs, and hopefully I will continue this downhill. Keep in touch. And yes, I have to remind myself daily to drink, drink, drink.

Hello there,
How are things going for you. I am 17 pounds down and having some side pain but I guess it is my bodies way of getting use to this foreign object. Also keep drinking this is something that I have to remind myself to do all the time. Try and walk as much as you can but don't over do it. This week has allowed me to start walking 2 miles during the day. Hope things are going well.

Thank all of you that prayed for me and who were just as anxious as I was, but no, I was DENIED! The reasons they gave was a bunch of mess. My BMI was a 40.6, for the past 4 out of 5 years it was a 40, besides now I have high blood pressure which I am now taking meds for, along with acid reflux. Don't know what happened. I called the insurance co to see why they denied my approval they said, because my BMI was below 40 with no comorbidities. Come on the paperwork is right in front of you, I had 2 doctor letters of recommendations stating all these facts, the letter from the surgeon stating that my bmi at that time was a 40.6 and that my blood pressure was high then too. The insurance co also stated that no psych eval was done, no nutrionist eval was completed, which is all false. I was in the surgeons office on yesterday for my group eval, when I was given this news. The clerk there showed me my packet everything that was sent to the insurance co. Nothing in that packet showed my bmi below a 40, the letters from my PCP was there, the psych eval was there, the nutritionist eval was there, WHAT WAS THE INSURANCE CO LOOKING AT? Well, they told me that they were going to do a (PCR) patient courtesy review. I should hear something Monday. I told the insurance co, someone is either falsifying info on my paper or someone is not doing the review. Based on the BCBS policy I meet all requirements. I don't know what else to do. Guess I will be appealling.

Congrats to you!!!!!! Sorry you had to war with BCBS, but you got through it. I'm probably where you were months ago, I'm having the time of my life with BCBS. How did you ever do it?
