Hey Yall, This Looks So Exciting!



Recommended Posts

Hey yall, my name is krystal! I just found this place about 10 min. ago and it is just what I am looking for! I have struggled with my weight all of my life and have been obese for about 10 years. I am only 28 years old. I am ready for a change. I had considered gastric bypass and was approved about 4 years ago. I did not have the surgery because one week before my date the surgeon was put under investigation. I took this as a sign and went on my merry way (weigh). Four years and some pounds later (in the wrong direction), I decided to give banding a try. :clap2: The only thing is I am now on a different insurance, and I don't think that they will approve this. I am determined though and will do whatever I have to to raise the money . I am close to 200 lbs overweight. I dont know how it got this bad. I am ready for a step in the right direction. For myself and my family. I am soooo looking forward to being an acive participant on this site!

:typing:

I'm fairly new here too and I myself had fought with my insurance company and gave up and now I'm self paying In Monterrey Mexico.

I think it all boils down to how bad we want to get rid of this life altering mess called fat. I want mine gone yesterday. My date is July 10 for surgery.

There are lots more people who know LOTS more than I do so you can ask them questions. I do know they're are all kind of financing companies that will finance at low interst rates for health reasons. Just ask.

Good luck and I think you've come to the right place.

Welcome to LBT both of you!

Good luck on the insurance fight Krystal. I have to admit to loving insurance companies. Quick to take the cash, so slow to give any out. Hmm that sounds remarkably like a protection racket... :)

Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
