It is not a diet, it's a life style change!

just the vision of a person who has successfully used her lapband tool and walks with her head held high somewhere, does not need to brag of her success. the success is clear. the comments were by people (trolls) who are (as other posters said) jealous.
it is what it is
you know the b mantra
head held high
chin up
shoulders back
high heels on
and work it girl............
proud of you

Claping, Claping. Yeah! for me and Yeah for you! and Yeah for all the Banded B's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was actually losing hope too, I had to do a second appeal to the IL board of Insurers and they found BCBSIL against the interest of the patient (me) and they were forced to approve me. Keep fighting. If they keep pushing you back, write a letter, do anything you can if you are sure you need and want this. You will get it done. I was right where you were at the end of Sept only I gained 15 lbs from being so depressed then woke up one day and wrote a 7 page letter full of anger on notebook paper and shoved it in an envelope. I was approved 9 days later. Go get em!

BBs are never alone. All for one & one for all!
Which insurance company? I'll get my gun!!!

you are you and thats whom we love

this together no matter what, when, how or why

You do belong!!!! You're with the Banded B's aren't you? What more do you need.
Waiting is frustrating, I waited 7mths, but the knowledge I gained b/c I hung out here is better than any class I had to take.
You have been here encouraging others and soon you will telling them how things were for you.
Hang in there sista B!

Good Luck hun!!
