@ CheckYes That is a good idea with the bun and pony tail. @Amanda The days you are not working out give yourself a cute roller set or a wrap.

Good Luck Chelle!!!

We are getting banded on the same day. I will do my pre-op testing on Sept. 14 and start my pre-op diet Sept.15. I'm soooo excited!!!!!!

Congrats!!!

Congrats!!! Good Luck to you!!!

@ kmt1973 Thx!!! Keep us posted!!!

I received my call today. I was approved, my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 22. So, hopefully I can have the surgery sooner if someone cancels.

@ LandieApplebottom it will be okay Girlie. Just do not think about so much. The insurance decision will come back at the right time. God Bless You!!! I went to the surgeon's office on yesterday. Soooo, I gave themthe rest of my papers to submit to the insurance company. Now, I am just waitingfor them to call me back. I told the coordinator that she does not have toworry about me bugging her. You guys, I'm really excited!!! I cannot wait toget that call.

Congratulations!!! I had a co-worker that was banded and then got pregnant about 2 months after. Her doc losing her band. She has a beautiful baby girl. She got her band filled now and start back losing weight.

Congrats and Good Luck!!!

I do not think so. My surgeon appointment is next Wednesday.They told me to make sure that my bmi do not drop under 40. Well, I am very determined to lose this weight.

I think that the process should be really easy. You probably can take all your paper work from the prior surgeon and just give the new surgeon all the information.I would not make my decision not to have the band, because the surgeon's office are not on the job.

I will turn in all my papers next week to my surgeon. I also have BlueCross Blue Shield of Alabama.I am really excited about it and I can not wait until, I turn in my papers next week. Let me know, how everything turns out.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I have not been banded yet. Hopefully, it will be next month.

I also weigh 230 pounds. I have started my 6 month program. I have 2 more doc visits to go. Yes, the band works. I have seen people that have been very successful with it.

Remember: The most important love is Self Love!!! You have to love yourself. There are going to be jerks out there. Regardless how someone looks people are always going to judge. Nobody is perfect and everybody has flaws, but it takes a real man to look past those flaws.

My name is Rita. I live in Birmingham, Alabama. I am 31 years old. I am looking for someone who is willing to share the good and the bad with me. I am really excited about this life changing decision. Thanks
