Congrats !

I did the band first because 7 years ago it just seemed right ! I was 22 and all i was worried about was getting skinny so i could wear cute clothes . Never really did no research just heared it was safe and went for it ! Plus everybody had a horror story it seemed back then about rny so i backed off . Then my best friend had rny a year after me and i watched her success and then many friends and family did it and all had major success . After six years and only a 40lb lost i desided to go foward with the revision . I had my lap band removed and rny the same day 1/29/13. Best choice i ever made i have lost 51 lbs and feel great ! To make a very long story short i pick the band for all the wrong reasons but now i got a second chance at success and i love my new life !

After i summited sorry !

Uhc approved me in 5 days are i summited everything ! Best of luck to you !

Lost more in the last 2 months then i ever did in six years with my band !

Had my surgey done 1/29 2013 ! Starting weight 348 as of 4/1/2013 my weight is 299 ! Best decision i ever made !

Thank you helped alot ! I have united and all my stuff goes in to insurance next week !

Omg I have uhc I am going threw all my prep ops stuff for a revision surgey and that has given me so much hope!

And everybody else your for your input it helped so much

Thank you so much ashley !

Did you have a revision or just the sleeve ashley ? I have united health care epo and I am a nervous rack about getting approved !

Thank you guys . Just feel like I am going threw alot to get this . Did you guys have trouble with you band ? My band wad fine no eros. No slips just I myself only got 4 cc in a 6 year period . The 4 cc made me threw up all the time plus bad releux plus it was messing up my teeth per denist so my doctor wants it out . Plus I only lost 40 lbs in a 6 year period . Did u guys have to do a swallow test and a upper gi ? Are u guys happy with your sleeve?

Hey everyone getting at the end of all my testing (pre op stuff for revision ) my doctors office is summit everything on th 5 th of october . I am just wondering how everybody eles insurance process went ? I have united health care ... But and story will help ... Starting to worry that after all this work I will not get approved

Today I am at the hositpal getting all the fluid taken out of my band and all I keep thinking is wow I hope I don't gain back all of the 40lbs I lost while going threw all this stuff for my insurance approval !

71 lbs is amazing too ! Great job all of you ! And I have not seen the 100s in 15 years ! You should be so proud of yourself ! I hope and pray all will go threw with my insurance and I can be a success story also !
