I think you have found a great place to get support! I can not think of a better place to discuss your concerns then with the folks that have gone through it. Good luck with DH.

I am so sorry to hear about your band! I know everything will work out for you as you have come so far!

Commenter: girlinnychow high IS your BMI?? My BMI is 34.

Audree, You finally weighed yourself! I have been waiting for you to weigh! Yipee on the solids! Looks like they are working for you and that you are actually eating good stuff. Yippee! :hungry:

Today I am feeling blue! I have applied for financing and am not getting a response! I am almost 99% sure my insurance will not cover surgery b/c I do not have a high enough BMI and no risk factors. I am getting discouraged and the longer I wait the guiltier I feel about all the “other” things I can spend the money (if I ever get it) on. My husband is supportive one minute and then tells me all the reasons I need to be more patient and wait until we can really afford it the next minute. Has anyone else ever been through this? Then I read about some folks who have only lost 20lbs in 8 months… good grief… then the “what if’s” come. I wish I could have the surgery today and get it over with. I am not patient and don’t want to keep waiting. :scared:

So you wouldn't recommend it for a "Dr. K's LapBand reunion party"?? Tee hee.. Thanks for the info! I am sure we'll just go to get pictures or something. We have to make a few of our friends jealous....01-16-2007 09:35 PM I agree, the food at Casa Bonita stinks but since you and your husband have the inside joke on it you should go! DrewsLou is right the only thing good is the sopapillas so I suggest you go and order the cheapest thing on the menu (you have to order) and stay for the fun. It really is an awesome place to go and check everything out. Also why you are in Denver go to 16th street and take the carriage ride at night. That is awesome as well! Have fun!

Hi everyone, I am considering the lap band. Your posts are a great encouragement to me. I haven't actually made the call yet :phanvan but I did see some posts from someone in Pueblo, CO. I am in Colorado Springs and would like someone to hold my hand and let me know everything that I need to do. I know, what a baby :think ! I have been researching -- I am also not sure that my insurance will cover it, I have Kaiser does anyone else have Kaiser and have they covered it? If so, what were the conditions? What are the conditions if you pay out of pocket? Any help would be great, I have a million questions as I am sure you all did! Thanks for any help you can give me!
