  3. Thanks guys...I definitely need to up the amount that I'm drinking per day.
  4. I had my band revision surgery on 4/30/12. I've been eating and drinking; my eyes aren't showing any indication of jaundice, but my urine is still too dark. I was thinking maybe the meds is the cause of the urine color. I don't want to be hospitalized for dehydration, etc...Looking for help/suggestions.
  5. Heyyyy Jil279...I'm getting sleeved on April 30th
  6. Hi BoBann...I have anthem coverage as well and they are normally prompt with a response, maybe you should call them and make sure your paperwork is complete.
  7. This has helped me alot. I will be converting from band to sleeve on 4/30/12.
  8. Thanks Hirnsandy. Your story sounds pretty much like mine. The band worked in the beginning, then it 'stopped' working and I gained back half of the weight I lost. Thanks for the encouragement. :-)
  9. Thanks soooo much for the tips. I had success with the band in the beginning, but I herniated twice and at some point the band just stopped working, so my Dr. recommended getting the band removed & getting the 'sleeve'. Sounds like you're happy with your decision and I'm sure I will too. Thanks again for the tips :-)
  10. I'm getting a revision surgery done on April 30th. Who else has had this done & what tips can you give me.
  11. Anyone getting sleeved on April 30th?
  12. thanks...I'll check it out. :-)
  13. Hi..I'm getting a revision surgery on April 30th, from the band to the sleeve, do I have any fellow counterparts out there?
