BIG THUNDER WAY TO GO, sounds like you are making positive moves. I am like you when I look in the mirror I don't see THAT fat of a person. Then whamy someone shows me a picture of me and I am like WHOLY COW I AM FAT, my mind likes to play games with me. I am being banded Friday the 13th and thank god. Every year for the last few years I added a few extra pounds. I am at 269 now but who knows when I would have stopped. This site is a great place. Stick with it. We can all do it together.

has anyone been banded in Fort Collins, CO, Using Dr. Qauid, Like him alot and his staff has been great.

I get banded next Friday but I want a bronze. I have already started. 2 of 14 down. THANKS FOR THE CHALLENGE I am so glad I found this site.

Thanks Lapdancer. Makes sense.

Hey Lapdancer What Do You Mean By Detox Diet Begins?

Thanks for the link Rockn4u. Great job on the weight loss. Did you get the taste of the vitamins out of your mouth?

way to go Becca you are brave! I have a desk job and am going to take a week off. Mostly because I have a 30 minute commute 1 way so I want to stay closer to home.

I had the same problem, United Health care called and they told me excluded but as long as employer said ok to cover it and medically necessary and outpatient they would cover. THen started with surgeon to find out "excluded" and no way will they pay. One person at insurance company just said real rudely "we don't pay for obesity". THank you very much. Our company insurance agent told me even if I waited until September when my employer renews insurance it could not be added even if employer said ok because we have less than 3000 employees. Said that most companies will not add until company of that size. I am not sure if that correct or not. I own my house so I borrowed $17,000 to do self pay. Ouch. good luck to you. If self pay not a option really check your new jobs insurance plan out.

thanks julie

Good luck on your banding. Can I ask what barium swallows are. I get banded on Friday the 13th, yes Friday the 13th good thing I am not Superstitious. Getting a little nervous. But excited. Any advise?

I am new to the forum also. Just scared and looking for answers. After being denied by insurance I am borrowing the money to do self pay. Surgery should be scheduled in April. I already had psych eval. Does anyone know do they have to give me a copy of that?
