    Hey everyone!!!!! It's getting exciting that most have had their bands and the rest is about too.... I was wondering for the ones that did have their bands what did u take to the hospital with you. I have an overnight stay and I was just seeing what you brought or would've brought. Thanks :-)

    Sorry I actually had to lol my brother taught my 3yr old son suck it up buttercup lol. But anyhow yes it is insane. I haven't had the number 2 issue yet thank God, but I know it's coming soon. And my husband told me the same thing. I am on powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes 5x a day. With a 1/2 scoop Protein in it. I can have sf Jello and sf Popsicles and I totally had the Jello yesterday.
    My preop diet is what is prescribed from the surgeon before my surgery

    Don't worry I completely understand. I started my preop on Wednesday. And my surgeon told me that I could feel like I'm going to be sick and be light headed for a few days. And they are right but they said it should pass

    Wow, is all I can say to start this post. I don't know how to convey what's running through my head. When i started my journey in early 2013 I couldn't continue due to insurance purposes. It felt like all was lost :-( but!!!! In late 2013 hubby's work switched insurances and wls is covered. I believe my whole world changed at that point. Going through the struggle of being over weight and depressed has taken a toll but on July 29th I am going to have my surgery. I can't wait!!!! It's been a long journey to get to this point but I'm happy where I'm at today. I want to say thank you to everyone on here for all the support. And those of you that have similar situations to Mine I wanna say hang in there!!!!!

    I do have one from 2009-2010 it was when I was on Atkins and I only lost like 20 something Pounds and gained it all back plus a lot more ????. But I have been tracking on fitness pal for calories for the past month and that's from the drs to do. So I would only have 5 months to go. So maybe by my 24th bday I can have an approval ????

    Yes I called the insurance company today and found out the great news. And then I called the dr to get the ball rolling. The insurance company gave me the details of what I needed to know and the qualifications for it. The only one I haven't done/kinda doing is the diet plan for 6 months . So......... Soon enough my time will be here. Patience is a game that I'm not good at but need to learn. Lol

    Hey everyone. I started my lap band research back in January 2012. Wow it's been a whole year can't believe that. When I started I had issues with my husbands insurance not wanting to cover the band. I was told that I would have been able to appeal the insurance company and more than likely win the appeal. Well.... 2 weeks before my 1st appointment the drs office called me and said no matter how much appealing I would do the insurance wouldn't cover the cost. Omw. Talk about depression and being down. So.... I've picked my self up and went on and trying to save up money to pay for it out of pocket. Just recently my husbands company switched insurance companies and they cover the lap band. I'm so excited!!!! My consultation appointment is jan. 9. I give God all the praise and glory because he has met a need in my life. And He knew what I needed. I'm so thankful.
