I'm planning to take a week although I don't do any lifting I want to make sure I can rest & give myself adequate time to heal from what I've been reading most people can't get much nutrition in the first week due to swelling so I think I would b worn out & drained so I'm going to take a week to concentrate on sipping more each day Sent from my Desire HD using LapBandTalk

Lapband is has a shorter recovery time less cutting shorter surgery time slower weight loss(less chance of saggy skin) so it fit for me Sent from my Desire HD using LapBandTalk

So happy for u I'm still taking baby steps good luck

Sorry that u aren't feeling well April but remember u JUST had surgery u might b expecting too much too soon the body needs time to heal and adjust the the changes the band causes I think it might b too soon to go to work maybe u should thinking about calling in & rest a extra day just a suggestion good luck & I hope u are feeling better soon

We I took the bull by the horn & they gave me a list & phone numbers I got everything scheduled the only downer is the earliest date for my psych exam(w/who they recommended) is 18Jul that's do far off

Carolina I am right the with u I just never seem to feel full so I'm looking forward to the lap band I don't have surgery date I'm hoping for 01AUG or sooner the earliest Psych exam I could schedule is 18Jul so We don't even submit to the insurance comp until after that oh well it is what it is....

I'm glad to hear u are feeling well glad to hear about the no hunger I don't eat a lot if junk just huge portions I joke I eat as much as a 6' football player so feeling full fast & no hunger is exactly what I need Good luck

Oh yeah do u have to continue to see the Psch person or is it just a one time evaluation

Ok then I might go ahead to DR Creepy thank u for the information

How does everyone know there entire schedule do some Dr offices just give u bits at a tome & then some complete everything at one time I had my consult on 10May I have a UGI on 5Jun that's it so far I'm hoping for a Aug surgery date

Welcome to the well of knowledge I love this site I feel like there is an army of people out there that's been exactly where I am in the journey it really is a comfort enjoy the journey

I have anthem BCBS and I am told it is very fast I am having trouble getting a psych exam they recommended two DR the one I like is booking for the end of July & the other one looks creepy & when I called his answering came on & hr sounded creepy too:/ so u think I'm going to call around worse case I can wait until the end of July what do u have to do for the psych exam if its feeling out forms then maybe DR Creepy will do

@Chou& biloxiblue its been a few days how are u feeling I hope all is well have u wieghed itself yet? Any progress? DeAna

Did I see that u said the hospital actually bills u for ur portion after the surgery once the insurance pays their part I will get a bill for my part or do I have to pay whatever is my portion up front it looks like the Max I would pay pending approval is $2500 and that could be less due to all that ive paid for Dr visits and lab test DeAna

I think if my insurance doesn't cover me I might pull the funds from my 401k I really need to get it done and my health is not a bad investment so I actually think I have a plan B DeAna
