Hi everyone,

My name is Anna and have just started the process of getting banded. I have so many questions, many of which I have found answers to in this wonderful forum. The more I read the more questions I develope though. I would love to hear from Wendy in IL. I too, am looking at having Dr. Van Wagner do my surgery. I hope to hear from you soon.

Questions:

- Unitedhealthcare Ins (coverage if bariatric surg is non-contracted)

- Regrets?

- Complications? Etc.,

Additionally, I eat for so many reasons other than hunger. I have given up on dieting. I can't even develope the motivation to do it anymore. Looking better and fitting into a smaller size is desirable but I just want to be healthy now. I wonder how/if the band will give me a sensation of fullness to the point that I will not want to overeat anymore. I understand the machanics of it but how does the band motivate you to change a lifetime of bad behavior with food.< /p>

Help,:help:

WOW, just found this thread and am enjoying it so much! I co-own and run a home-care agency that provides care for the elderly and home-bound. In my free time I work with rescued dogs at the local shelter, and I also tutor illiterate adults in reading. It keeps me busy while waiting for my sons to give me grandkids!

Currently I work part time from home taking orders over the phone for things, like pizza or for stuff sold on informercials. I get to set my schedule and hours so that is awesome.

I am also a part time grad student in Library Science- I hope to be full time in the fall. Right now I am working on my health which involves the band. In addition to that I have other health problems-- fibromyalgia/CFS, narcolepsy, etc. and I am working on getting those treating and getting my health to improve so I can handle full time grad school. So this means I go to a lot of doctors apointments :sick and there are things like allergy shots twice a week and other apointments and stuff I should make and go to like chiro and accupuncture for pain and all that but I need a lull in my healthcare marathon and the pain is the same as its been for the past year-- its manageable.

When I finish up my masters in Library Science I will either have my teaching certificate or need to get one because I ultimatley want to be a school librarian. So the master/cert is what I am working on now! If I can't be a school librarian then I want to be a youth/children's librarian. I'm obcessed with children's lit! I saw there were a few special ed teachers on here. I am particularily interested in twice exception kids as an underserved population, actually. I was one. I have an LD and I was gifted. My brother has severe disabilities and I have worked as an aid a couple times when I was in college. Then after I finish up the masters I think I might not look for a job, but instead my hubby and I might see about having a baby. I figure while we are working on that I might be able to start work on a certificate (and eventually a masters) in children's lit. And then I'm sure there will be no way we can afford to have me stay in school any longer so I will probably want to find one of those full time jobs I've heard so much about Maybe someday get another degree or phd... time will tell. Previous to what I do now I was a babysitter for a few years while I worked on my undergrad-- I got that degree in May.

DH is a computer guy. He is a network server architecture adminstrator. That means he works for a large university and gets to be in charge of all this big servers and programs for them and other things makes pretty decent pay.
