  1. Hello Janet how are you doing? received your message and I would be glad to share my experience/journey with you. I did have my surgery on 7-29 and have lost a total of 29 lbs. I excercise often and limit my high caloric food intake. Not to say I never have a little treat but its not often or its one day a week. Well hope to keep in touch with you. hope you have a better evening. As for the pic instead of the question mark I was just wondering the same thing I am going to try and figure it out and will let you know if I do.

    My insurance denied - I need to prove 5 years obesity - HELP

    hello devastated in NY, I can only imagine what you are going thru, my ins. req. 3 years history which I didnt have but as chellt mentioned I did write a lengthy letter along with dated pics which helped me. talk to your doctor and see about appealing the decision its never set in stone. wishing you the best of luck... vinny
  3. Hello Mia, I am 27 years old and was banded on 7-29-09 so its going to be 3 weeks on wednesday. I have been feeling great. I was in a little pain and discomfort the 1st week but bounced back pretty quickly. I dont feel the restriction yet get my 1st fill on 8-26-09 and am looking foward to it. I do get hungry pretty often but stick to low carb high protein diet. I do need to eat foods which are high in fiber. I do tell close friends and everyone in my family knows what I had done. I have lost 15 lbs so far post op. my goal is to try and loose 15-20 lbs a month. I do work out 5-7 days a week at least 30 min on the elliptical. well keep in touch and let me know if you should have any additional questions.
  4. Hello Jenny, thanks for the add. I look foward to chatting with you. If you should have any questions for me please feel free to send me a message. p.s. try not to think too much about the insurance approval it will happen for you.... I was a wreck waiting for the approval.. :)

  5. Thanks Angela for the info as it is very helpful. I always want to get as much info and am willing to share as well. I weighed myself yesterday and have gone down an additional 5 so I was super stoked. :) I have noticed that I have been loosing hair slowly I do need to buy biotin where can I get it ? and did it help you? I have been eating plenty of protein and also do 30 on the elliptical and arm weights. I didnt get stitches, but all my wounds healed pretty quickly. I dealt with bad gas pains for the 1st 6-7 days but feel good as new. I do feel that I need that fill already because I get hungry often but have been trying to limit my caloric intake to 1000-1200 cals a day. I will see the doctor in about 1 week 1/2 so am hoping that it helps with the hunger... thanks again ttyl

  6. Thank you so much for your response. Its good to hear that you have lost some more weight. I am currently 40 lbs. lighter than the largest weight I remember being. I was banded a week and a half ago and have so far lost 10 lbs. I am both excited and nervous in getting my 1st fill which will be on 8-26-09. How long do you exercise for and what exercises do you do? You have come along way with everything that you have gone thru...
