I have aetna insurance. I have open access by aetna. Before I was approved I had to do 3 months of seeing a psychologist, talking to a nutrionist and a practitioner. I did all of this at Trueresults. I was approved after the 3 months. I started my liquid diet on September 20, 2010 and weighed 429 lbs. On October 7, 2010 the day of my surgery I was weighing 400 lbs. So that was a lost of 29 lbs.Surger day was fine. I was a little nervous..well very nervous. I never had surgery before. My surgery time was at 8:30am. They started on time and when I woke up it was about 9:30am or 10am. I was not in to much pain at all. I did not have any gas problems as I read might happen. I arrived back home that same day around 1pm after we made a few stops after leaving the hospital. I only took one picture the day before surgery and I will try and post here soon. Today, October 26, 2010, I have lost 19 lbs after surgery day. Since my liquid diet September 20, 2010, I have lost a total of 148 lbs as of October 7, 2011. I'll try and take new pictures soon but a little shy about posting pictures but I still might do that because I enjoy looking at everyones progress.I have a lot of health problems and I know the lapband will support me in loosing weight and hopefully get off some of these medicines i'm on. I take 8 pills and some twice a day.I pray by christmas i will be able to eliminate some pills.That's my story and hope you enjoyed reading what I had to say about my experience.Take care-
