    If You Lose To Much Weight

    Yes, it will affect the decision to get approve. I had to make sure that my BMI was high enough so that the insurance company would cover it. The nurse told me that I needed to make sure that I stayed at the right BMI. Blue Cross Blue Shield is really particular about that. It does not matter after, they get all the information in. If you decided to lose after the consultation and change your eating habits. I tell you to go for it, but not before the consultation.

    Lap-Band Incisions

    Stick to doctors order. I was banded on 9/22 and I waited until my surgeon told me it was okay to take or put anything on my incisions.

    September Bandsters

    I am 5 days post op. I am so miserable. I'm hurting in my back and stomach on my left side. The nurse told me to take some Tums. She is telling me that it is some gas still there. I have been taking the Tums and Gas X. I am hurting so bad. I am down 12 pounds since surgery on 9/22. I do not have appetite at all. i am making myself eat and drink. I had a little pudding and a couple sips of water.I go to the doctor tomorrow. So, I can not wait to see what they are going to tell me.

    I have put all my things on the top shelf of the refrigerator. I told the kids hands off. This is mine!!They can touch everything else but not my yogurt and jello. I made sure that everyone was in there, even the 3 year old. My husband bought me some tropical sugar free jello and Popsicle. I can not stand the taste of them. They seem to be really sweet. I even told them that they can have those.

    I can't get the protein shake to go down. I taste a little bit and almost got sick to my stomach. I tried to eat some grits this morning, I only had about 3 small spoonfuls, that was all I can eat. I have had tried some yogurt and pudding , they was okay going down.
