pkjones got a reaction from Jim1967 in I feel like crying:'(
Did you tell her before or after you we're banded? If after, maybe she is just hurt that you didn't share with her before?

pkjones got a reaction from ☠carolinagirl☠ in Still on the Fence Should I take the jump?
I was lucky, my PCP was supportive, I think I would have switched Drs if he would have given me the "cop out" speech. Definitely go to the seminar and talk to a bariatric surgeon, they will be supportive and help you decide if it is right for you. I worked out with a personal trainer at the Y a few years ago, I saw him last summer and told him I was working towards having the lap band surgery.. he urged me to look into alternatives that weren't the "lazy" way out..said by the skinny guy who works out for a living...

pkjones got a reaction from lilmispcl in weight gained during 6 month management
I gained a lot of weight during my 6 months (30lbs!) I was at 34.8 bmi when I started, I think my mindset was "if I don't have a bmi over 35 I won't get approved" Then the surgeon explained that ins. co's get so much money a yr to allot for these surgeries. So they just want to make sure you are committed and they aren't throwing money away. So after hearing that I felt pretty confident I would get approved then I just went into "I won't be able to eat this after surgery" mode, and put on even more weight! Just met with my surgeon today and I'm scheduled for April 16th. I think if you just do everything the ins co requires you'll be fine :-)
