hello Jesslyn ! nice to meet you !! Wow ! You have lost some serious weight ! That is amazing ! i havent been bannded yet but looking forward to it ! Nice to meet you ! xo

Okay so here we go !!!! Im ready to make the " call " Yes , the call to my insurance company tomorrow morning to see if they will cover me and what my policy says. Why didn't I do this on Friday before the 3 day holiday weekend I have no idea ! I guess i like driving myself batty !! This is a lil about me and my situation. Iam a new mom . I have a son that is 10 weeks old. Iam engaged to the best man in the world and we are getting married on Oct 1st , 2011. The plan was to wait till we were married and i would go under his insurance BCBS and I would eventually get LapBand. All that changed when i found this site Friday of last week !! I seen a post where several people had the insurance i currently have and low and behold i found a entire site on Lap-band surgery and the hospitals they cover !! I dont know if i have the right plan under them YET !! Tomorrow morning tells all !! * fingers crosses* I just want to clear up that im not fat because ive just had a baby . haha id like to think that but thats not the case. I was heavy before pregnancy and have been most of my life. Ive ALWAYS been able to pull motivation out for a short period of time , ex cerise , diet to death lose about 70lbs and then I come to a screeching hault !! I wont lose or gain and ill stay at a very unheatlhy 190lbs. Which right now to be honest i would LOVE to be 190 ! So , im doing something about it !!! Together with support groups like lapbandtalk and all the lovely women ive already had the pleasure of corresponding with .. i know i can get thro this . IT IS POSSIBLE !!! Ill update tomorrow after the call and as soon as i can get my lil man down for a nap !! =) SO EXCITED !! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE THE TICKET !! =)

I found the album here !!! I couldn't see if from my phone and just got on my laptop and seen that we have an album !!!! A awesome one at that !!!! Very inspiring !!!

Fabulous!! Thank you !! ill def have to find it this week !!! its so good to hear you are doing well ! ive been following a few bandsters blogs and i tell ya , some of them are freaking me out a bit. But not enough to not want it ahha xo

AMAZING!!! CONGRATS !!! THIS IS WHAT YOUVE BEEN WAITING FOR !!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU !! XOX

Thanks! yea, i think im just going to go ahead and tell my Dr everything i can think of !! When you really think about it there are SO MANY things that being overweight interferes with ! Not only health wise but day to day ! =)

haha Ive actually done that a few times !!! It does help out the " girls" in the summer months !!! )

Thank you so much ! I never thought about using Noxeema ! I've used the Destin and baby ointment like the previous post said . I usually just wash it a few times a day and let it air dry when possiable. It's just so much worse in this heat and when I work out !

Hello everyone! My name is Heather. im 32 years old and have struggled with my weight my entire life. I can lose weight but never seem to keep it off. After much thought and years wasted ive decicded to get Lapband. Currently waiting to see if my insurance even covers it or not. Iam so excited to get the ball rolling!!! I have however totally ADDICTED to researching the Lapband!! I wanna know everything twice ! ahah So ill most likely start a blog and keep up with my weight loss progress there. Its so cool to meet other people just like me ... Skinny inside ! i know im thinking way far ahead but does most insurance companies cover the tummy tuck afterwards ? Im looking forward to that the MOST !! =)

Awesome !!! So glad to meet you !! I will def keep in touch and I an on starting my blog Monday morning ! That's the day I'm making my insurance calls !! Err nervous already !!! Haha Who would have thought we would ALL want a procedure that takes away are ability to eat so badly !?

Thank you so much ! Ice met so many great people already ! I'm so glad I found this site !!

Hi ! Wow ! I ne er REalky thought about what other people would think when I was out . I haven't been banded yet and I plan in keeping it a secret . besides my fiancée , no one will know . I think if I pug a initial Portion on my plate then just play it or talk alot I can cover it up . Hopefully !!!! My family is Italin !!! Thus is gonn be hard !! Lol

I've cast my vote !! Good luck doll !!

CONGRATS!!!! That is so awesome !!!!! I can only hope that mine goes as quickly !!! )

Thank you !! Really cool of you to take the time to answer So wow yearly adjustments ! So it's the surgery over again every year ? Dam if that isn't dedacation I dont know what is ! Well I'm ready !! I've wasted far to much time being fat with a unhealty life style . I'm excited !!

Hi !! Lap band guru !!! So you should have all the answers to my questions ! Lol I have a million but I'm on my iPhone right now ! So I see you just had surgery !!! How are you feeling ? How would you rate your pain ? Are you hungry ? I know you usually don't get any fill during the implanting of the band but I've heard some day they feel full . Maybe from the swelling ? Thanks so much !! Sorry about the 20 q
