That's how long my process took. It was submitted to insurance on march 21 and it took three months with them. It seemed that little things with paperwork kept getting messed up. But as soon as I was approved the process is fast.

Hello --

My papers have been submitted to the insurance company and I am waiting for a reply. My doctor said for me to call this Tuesday to see where we are in the approval process.

I am so scared. I would love to talk to some people 60+ years old that have the band. I thought about the sleeve but, don't cherish the idea of being cut and stapled or stitched up. My insurance does not yet pay for the sleeve.

I had no idea that you only lost 1 to 2.5 pounds a week???? I thought it was a greater/quicker loss. I will just work harder to loose it. Also, I can't exercise much at all. Low-low-oxygen. That sure does concern me.

They told me I would be on liquids for sometime after the surgery. How can you not loose lots of weight drinking liquids?

How was your pain after the surgery? My neighbor had to have her band removed a week after she got it as she was alergic to the material it contained.

Good luck on all ya'll getting your bands this month and next. Just keep that positive attitude and a song in your heart.
