Wow...You are doing fantastic!!! I can't wait until I can post like this!!! WAY TO GO!!!

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!

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?

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!

Hi, My BMI is 33 and My insurance is covering it. I have Tricare Prime. But you have to have health issues.

I have Tricare Prime, the surgeon wanted me to do a 6 month Doctor supervised diet, But I had already completed this. A nutrition appointment, and a sleep study.

I think you'll do great!!! Congrats on getting your toes wet!!! Hope all goes well!!! BEST OF LUCK!!!

Hopetolose My insurance did approve me! I'm on the preop program! How are you doing?

I have TriCare Prime. It has been fairly easy so far.

I went to my intial consult today. I am now in the pre op program!!! I need to get my pysch eval and dietary appt. done, and a sleep study. I'm so excited that I am finally on my way to a healthier life style!

I have my consult on Thursday. I'm wondering how long I will have to wait. I have done the Dr. supervised diet though about 18 months ago. Good luck!

I have a big butt...but I like it...LMBAO...I don't want it to go anywhere!!!

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.

I'm 5'9 and my goal weight is 160-165.

Hi, My name is Kimberly, I live in San Diego. I am in the process of getting approved for the Band. I too was wondering about a support group in the area. I have about 70lbs to lose.
