    Hunger Pains Jan 12 Bandster

    i was banded jan 3 and i had those horrible hunger pains and felt like i was the only one having them but i wasnt and those were awful but i have to say after i got on mushies things got so much better but i do limit my intake i know i could eat more then i am but i know if i do all i would be doing is hurting myself so it is a lot of self discipline i am less then two weeks away from my first fill and i wish all you newly banded folks all the best!! and YES it does get better...and don't forget to exercise!!! have a great day all!!

    Waiting On Cigna's Approval

    If i didnt call my insurance off i wouldnt know anything ....i called about once a week until i got my approval ......it seems like it takes forever to get that approval but once you do it seems like time flies by and befor you know its time for surgery .....good luck!!!
