trudy69 0 Posted February 25, 2008 I have contacted my insurance and seen my primary doctor who was more than happy to write me a letter for approval with my insurance UHC. So far, so good just checking things off the list, blood work and appointment with the surgeon is next. But each day I ask myself...why can't I just do this on my own and I am very fearful about having complications. And I know it is kind of shallow of me but the thought of never having a soda again makes me sad. Are most of you out there happy you had the surgery done?

But each day I ask myself...why can't I just do this on my own and I am very fearful about having complications. And I know it is kind of shallow of me but the thought of never having a soda again makes me sad. Are most of you out there happy you had the surgery done? Trudy Am I happy - 1000 times yes!!! I feel 10 yrs younger - I weigh 75 lbs less than 7 months ago. I can shop in regular stores - bye bye Plus Size shopping. I will have a soda every now and then - my doc does not forbid them - I just let them get flat and sip slowing - the carbonation doesn't go down well - but I have never been a big soda drinker anyway. What are the complications of being obese??? Being obese is going to kill you Yep you are giving up your old ways of eating and that can be sad - but eating is killing you - New Lifetime Lifestyle eating habits & exercise is going to let you have a longer - healthier and more productive life - the band is the tool to help you acheive these goals - it's not the cure to our food issues but an excellent tool to control your portion size. Good Luck to you on your journey.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
