I have cigna too..they told me tge aporoval was goid for 90 days from the date you were approved. .so basically three month span..

Sorry that You had to experience that.Our family members can be our worse critics. Well right after I had my surgery done in may maybe four 4 weeks later. I ran into a dinstant uncle who saw me and the first thing that he said was that I was as a house and needed to lose some weight..Talk about no filter. I was four weeks post op and not many family members and friends knew of my surgery then.I was hurt by what my uncle said. But i use that as motivation to keep on pushing through this journey. I am now 60 pounds down and 25 pounds away from my personal goal weight. I wish you and every one on this thread much sucess with your journey and lapbands.

so amazing. You make me want to cry just by reading this.NSV are the best. I stop stepping on the scale and just go with what my body does and shows me as I lose my inches..You are right..WE CAN AND WE WILL DO THIS!!

I learned the hard way. I always had drink and eat seperately after surgery. I was out with friends last week at a resturant eating brunch. I had started gulping down my Water after a couple bites of breakfast and i could not move fast enough to get to the bathroom. I had a stuck feeling and felt like i could not breathe. I stood up and turned around and everything came up everywhere.. Total embarrasement.. My advice is stick to what the doctor says.. No eating and drinking at the same time.You dont want to find out like I did.

Congratulations!!

Before i had my lapband surgery in May i would go to happy hour every other day. Now currently I can even take a couple sips of Moscato wine without feeling the effects of it. I am a light weight now when it comes to drinking.

Thanks..greatly appreciate that.

Thanks..greatly appreciate that.

Thanks..and happy new year and blessings to you too..

No matter what happens don't stop pushing.slow progress is progress .Its still a struggle for me sometimes...afraid to eat something sometimes because I don't want to ever look like I did 60 pounds ago..but I thank god I made the choice to get my lapband because it has helped me..
