    Hi !

    I got mine approved, I'm 5'9 also, but I am 230. But I also have Diabetes, high blood pressure and cholestrol, GERD, gastroparesis, and problems sleeping. It might be easier for you now that the FDA has approved the lapband for people with 30-35 BMI's. Good luck!
  3. I just have a quick question, How long after surgery did you go back to work? Is it possible to have it done on a Wed. and go back the following Mon?

    New here with questions...HELP!

    I am a military spouse also. I would get a second oppinion. Also Tricare will cover it, they will want you to have it done if it is a service offered at the Military Facility by you. And as part of the pre op program will be to see a nutritionist also, along with some other things to complete on a check list. Hope this helps!

    A little embarassing

    Hi, Have you tried drinking Miralax? You can put it in your Water, or coffee, juice. It doesn't taste, I take it once a day or every other day if it gets too loose! Hope it helps! It's also safe enough to take every day, it's even safe enough for children.
