I have the lap band since 2008 and want to try the sleeve. I have basic federal bc/bs. Do you know if they will pay for you to have another sgy? They paid all but my copay for sgy and physician fee before. The also paid all but 175 when I breast reduction.

I have realize band and have not had a single problem with my band.

I had my lap-band sgy in 03/07/2008 and I lost 40 and gained almost all of it back. I am thinking about doing the bypass, but not sure if my insurance will allow it. I am not sure what to do.

I have only lost 40 lbs since my sgy. I get compliments every day b/c I have lost inches. I still see the same person I was. I need to learn to just say thank you and go on. I am bad about saying thanks, but the scale has not moved.

I was doing pretty good, but then I put a few lbs back on. I am no where near my goal, but I am ready to start really changing things and see if that helps. I have just been coasting along and not really losing any. My 1 year is coming up and I have only lost 30 lbs.

Welcome to the club!

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one stuck. I was banded on 03/08 and I have only lost 30 lbs. I walk everyday and nothing. I know it has to be what I am eating, but it still drives me crazy that I am not losing. I dread going back to the doctor, b/c I am sure everyone is doing better than me.

I think the hardest thing for me was when I stopped losing and just stayed the same. When I stated losing again it was so wonderful. There are a lot of ups and downs, but I am so glad I got the band. Even when I mess up and it I can not hold my dinner down!:thumbup:

How did your meeting at Dress Barn go Tuesday?

Call Christy in Dr. Baker's office. She can usually tell you what each insurance will cover. I know she did with my insuance and my sisters.

Girl you better come one. Flowergurl is fixing to pass me up! I am down almost 30 lbs. I am almost to my first goal of being under 200 lbs. :rolleyes2: Going to work hard this week to get closer to my goal. Went and bought a new shirt and HELLO it is a 16-18 sure beats a 22 wide. Hopefully next I can buy clothes in the normal sizes instead of having to go find the plus sizes. :girl_hug:

Does anybody know when the hairloss will stop? I am so tired of washing my hair and it falling out. It is not much, but it is a pain. :crying:

Hi everyone. I have not been on for awhile. My computer crashed at home. Hopefully it will be up and running by this weekend. I am up to 6cc and let me tell you, it will make you think twice about what you eat. It hurts if you make a mistake! I have not lost very much, but I did eat cake this weekend.

Hey Bandster, I live outside of Cabot. Maybe can get a walking group together or something.

The kind you get from the doc is so gross. The Atkins is pretty good.
