How Do You Deal With Negative Feedback From Family,friends,coworkers About Being Banded?
Ive told everybody!! My family and friends and coworkers, but I'm very blessed cause everyone has been very supportive of my decision to have lap band! And as far as those that say it is a "easy way out" I'd like to punch them in the face!! It is in no way easy matter of fact it was one of the toughest decision I've ever made. My point is I'm proud of myself for the decision I made to have lap band and I usually don't listen to the negative!Congrats and good luck!! I'm a week and two days post op. keep a heating pad close by!! Mine was and still is my best friend!!I was banded on the 23rd also and I am still very swollen as well!! I can't wear anything other than very big waisted elastics lol!! My belly is bigger now than before my surgery!I got banded on 3/23/12 too. I'm also having problems burping and a lot of pressure in my chest. I've been walking to try to help with the gas pain it seems to help a little.That sounds awesome!! I'm gonna have to try it!!I get my surgery date Monday the 12th when I go for my pre op appointment. I don't think it's sunk in yet that I'm actually gonna be banded, I'm still excited that I got approved!! Thank you all so much!!Got the call today I'm approved!!!My surgeons office submitted my paperwork online but since I was using a photo for my 2009 records it was denied. So they turn around and mailed my paperwork. I called ins today to inquire about the status and the lady tells me and I quote "I'm not suppose to tell you this but since they denied it the first time they will prob deny it the second time, but I'm not suppose to tell you that" my heart sunk!! Why would you tell someone that??! I'm praying she is wrong!Hi, I went to one of the seminars at my surgeons office. They gave me my packet and the info on what to do.
