  2. From what I got PB is when the food does not Pass through the band and get stuck and it comes back up.. But not like throw up but in the whole form you at the food?? I think that's right? But anyone please correct this if I'm wrong..
  3. Ok so I'm new to this site and have gained a lot of info this far. I'm really concerned about this PBing, throwing up, and food getting stuck. Can anyone tell me their experience with this??? It's kinda making me re-think getting the band..
  4. Thanks so much for the info!! How much weight have you lost? I wish you well on your journey!
  5. Hello, how are they measuring the BMI? Is it by a machine or just plugging numbers into a BMI calculator online? Online it says my BMI is 38 but by an actual BMI machine it's 40-41. The calculator online to me is bogus because I'm sure it's going off of a "standard" weight and shape of a body when everyones body is different and carries the weight differently. I'm nervous about getting approved as my BMI according to a machine is 40-41 but online calculator 38 and I have no other health issues besides joint pain. Any thoughts would help! Thanks!
  6. I also have UHC I hope I have the same experience as you then! You didn't pay nothing out of pocket except for the shakes?? What did you have to do to get approved?
  7. Thanks for the support!! What has been your experience with the band?
  8. Wow that was fast! What insurance do you have and what all did you have to do to get approved?
  9. Cmk99 where is she located? And what has been your experience thus far?
