Lots of pre-banding questions
DONNALYNNCRAIN replied to victoria21's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It Is So Easy I Live 70 Miles Away From Surgery Center. I Had Surgery At 7.30 And I Was Home By 10.30 I Slept And Laid Around For The Weekend And Was Ready To Go To Work That Monday. Fills Are Easy. Like A Blood Test. I Can Feal The Port If I Push On My Stomach But You Cant See It. Even If It Was E -
United Health Care Question
DONNALYNNCRAIN replied to pattyboggs5@yah's topic in Insurance & Financing
I Have United Health Care. I Thought I Would Have To Pay 20 % Was Pleasently Surprised To Be Approved In 5 Days. And Only Paid 30 Co Pay Like An Office Visit. I Now Pay 30 For Each Fill. I Love United Health They Have Made My Life So Much Better. I Have 6 Pounds To Go To Goal. 71 Pounds Since Jan. 28 2006. I Love The Band And Dr. Spivak.:eek: -
NO MUSHIES NO LIQUID. ONLY GOOD SOLID FOOD. I PROMISE IT WILL FILL YOU UP. GO WALK OR GO OUTSIDE CALL A FRIEND HELP A NEIGHBOR. AND YOUR MIND WILL BECOME INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE ELSE OR SOMETHING ELSE AND NOT JUST FOOD. I KNOW I WAS THERE. YOU WILL GET IT. AND LOOSING IS WONDERFUL. :nervous

I feel like I can eat anything and there is no band!
DONNALYNNCRAIN replied to Betsyjane's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I To Used Dr. Spivak. He Made Me Wait 1 Month Before My First Fill. Before That I Felt I Had Liitle If No Restriction. I Even Had A Slice Of Pizza. But Then I Had A Fill 1.3 The First Time In A 4cc Band. Always Ask How Much In Your Fill. It Worked Good After About Three Days. It Was Tight And I Was Limited In How Much I Ate. Yogurt. Cream Of Wheat Vegetables. Then 7 Weeks Later I Had Another Fill. I Asked His Assitant To Be A Little Aggressive With The Fill Since I Had Only Lost 16 Pounds. From 217 To 201. She Granted My Wish And Again After A Few Days I Was Extremly Tight. Only Able To Drink Shakes And Soup Or Creamed Veggies. I Know Some To Not Think This Is A Good Idea But My Daughters Wedding Was In 6 Months So I Really Wanted It. I Am So Happy That I Did. It Was Not Up Until Then Did I Realise That Before I Did Eat Alot During The Day. Grazing. I Really Believed I Did Not Eat That Much. I Also Learned To Chew My Food And Eat Very Slow. I Also Learned What Slim Means An Pb Means . I Am Down 71 Pounds With Only 6 More To Goal Weight And I Have Done It Since Jan. 25,2006 I Really Thank Dr. Spivak For His Help
