You are exactly what I was hoping for. I want to hear that people are successful. I want this to be a life long change, I want to feel good about myself and have better health without all the medicine I have been taking! Be sure to keep updating with such super news. I ,for one, need to be inspired!!

Great, best of luck!! keep us informed..

they just want to be sure you can handle the large weight loss in such a fast pace. Not everyone is ready for such a big change. The funny thing you will do is the MMPI test, they will know who you are after that is done. Don't worry it's all part of the "getting ready" procedure.

I have been using Jay Robb whey protein powder. 190 calories with my soymilk; 32 mg protein, carbs 5mg. It tastes good and I feel as though I am actually getting something healthy, plus alot of protein!

the info I received from my insurance listed the sleep study as a part of the process. I enjoyed my sleep study very much and now I am using a CPAP. If you don't need one they will know right away. I have been told that I will probably not have to use it after I lose weight. My insurance paid for most of the study. My husband is sleeping much better now! i had my appointment with the pulmonologist yesterday and without asking me any questions or looking at my chart, she said that she automatically sends her lap band patients for a sleep study. i told her that i do not feel that i need one, i do not snore, moan, have trouble breating at night, wake up tired, smoke or any other risk factors that i see on all the sleep apnea sites. my husband of 18 years said that he has never witnessed me waking up to catch my breathe. my question is, if i am healthy enough to undergo an upper endoscopy next week with anethesia why do i need a sleep study for an hour long lap band procedure? what if i did have apnea, my endoscopy is scheduled before any lung or sleep test is scheduled. my insurance said that depending how the doctor bills the sleep study, i can be responsible fr 25% of the cost. that is unreal. i have decided to go with another doctor that feels that i am not a risk factor for apnea and will only have a chest xray and a breathing test. why do doctors put you through tests that are not necessary.
