Hellow Everyone.....



Recommended Posts

My name is Christy, I'm 37 yrs old and have decided to take the Lap Band journey. My insurance requires a 6 month wait....which, during that time I need to meet with my PCP once a month (for a total of 7 visits), I need to meet with a physical therapist 2 times, a nutritionist 2 times, a psychologist 1 time as well as go to group meetings.

I've met with my PCP 3 times now, I've met the nutritionist, physical therapist. I need to meet my psychiatrist....been putting that off as my ins wont cover that, which means I have to come up with $450.

I've been overweight my entire life, I'm sick of being fat and want to start "LIVING LIFE" and not watching from the sidelines.....

I've recently quit smoking (3 weeks ago yesterday) and have started walking daily....

I hope to meet some friends and learn some things I didn't know about the lap band.....

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
