  1. I'm so happy for you, Sandy!!! Congratulations on your surgery and sorry that I couldn't get on sooner! So happy for youuuu!!!
  2. Hi! So, I have Tufts Health Plan and I'm in the six month iCanChangeProgram so that I can get my lapband surgery... but. (I had my first call today, with my health coach.) I'm confused as to... what the real steps are! I mean, I haven't scheduled a surgery or anything. I'm only nineteen years old and I don't know what the steps are, exactly. I only know about the program so that I can be covered. Do I have to schedule my own surgery? Or, does the insurance do it for me? Or, does my primary care doctor do it? I hope I don't seem too stupid. I'm just confused.
  3. Hi, fellow bandsters. I'm Jeo! I've just been certified into a six month program before I can do the actual surgery. I know that I won't be able to have the actual surgery until September, 2012... or August. Which is fine with me! I'm looking forward to this hard journey and I'd love advice from post-op bandsters and pre-op as well! Thanks so much!! Love, Jeo.

    I wish you luck on the interview and the insurance thing! Do you HAVE to take the insurance from the job?
  5. Hello, bloggers! I'm a happy, energetic and fluffy college student! I've always been big, like... big as in... I was around 192 lbs in sixth grade. I mean, I guess I looked decent since I was 5'6. I still am 5'6. I'm a tree! I just need to slim up that way. I've been researching about lapband surgery since I was about seventeen years old and I immediantly became interested in it.

    First Call, "hello, This Is Heaven."

    Oh, yes. I've decided about it and I'm in a program and stuff like that. <3 Sequoia, woop-woop!
  7. Dang. That's a set back. I hope the best for both of you.
  8. There are these shakes too... Protein shakes for pre-op patients. They're supposed to be really filling... but~! They are a bit pricey. http://www.amazon.com/Bariatric-Advantage-Replacement-Powder-servings/dp/B004WQNLH2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3TN7W82R9FMI&colid=9SY9QM24SQ2H Here is a video review, as well! I hope this helps.

    Oooh! I do that all the time too. My scale is my friend/enemy. Frenemy. I'm also a full time student and I'm trying to find a job so I can pay off financial aid and stuff like that. You're so close! YOU CAN DO IT! Hehehe. Seven pounds is amazing! Slow and steady, wins the race. As for... my next steps. I have no idea. I think my health coach will help me tomorrow and clear my mind. I have a notebook and a few pens to take down notes. I'm so excited to start with this! My insurance even gives me discounts at gyms.

    I've only told a few close friends and my family... but my closest friend is against bariactric surgery. I think it's a great tool for life... especially for someone like me, who has fluxiating hormones and fluxiating weight, all the time. As for my journey... it's weird. I've been trying to contact my health coach and she hasn't contacted me back just yet. I'm getting extremely anxious.--- You know, what's funny. I JUST GOT THE CALL, as I was typing. LOL. My enrollment in the program is tomorrow at 1:00 PM, so excited! How about you?
  11. Oh my! o.o That's a good deal. All the fills you need?
  12. Hello, Hello! Welcome! I'm new as well. I'm subscribed to a lot of bandsters on youtube. Watching their vlogs are really helpful!

    Hi, Krystyne! It's nice to see another new bandster!! I'm so sorry for your loses. I don't have PCOS but my Aunt does and I know how hard it is! I'll hopefully get my surgery in the Summer or early Fall. I'll be happy to support you if you do the same for me. I'm always looking awesome people to have as friends! : D
  14. I'm excited for you as well, Cyndie! You go, girl. And when you see that towering, fudge cake... just imagine yourself in a bikini... that's what I do and it usually works. Plus, I'm sure that you'll feel amazing! And I live in Massachusetts, Sandy. :]
  15. I live very close! They haven't fully explained anything to me just yet but I'm eagerly awaiting my health coach's call.
  16. I have! For the pre-certification. How about you?
  17. Hi, Sandy! ^^ I'm new here as well!! Good to see someone new like me! Swing me a message sometimes.
