Oh I did it during Christmas break. Was down for only 2 weeks

My insurance paid for my tummy tuck. If you have a c section scar or hysterectomy scar bcbs paid. I had to pay deductable and I paid out of pocket for the Lipo of the flanks.

Im talking to both of you all lol I think it would be great to have that support system you know that only a call or drive away. we can work out together walk hey anything to get me in shape and improve my health I am all for it

Great ! ! ! So am I. Im on the North/East side of Houston. We can be support buddies. I am looking at June 10th for my date.

Ok I know where you at. I am down the freeway from you on !-10. Well I teach in that area. I am off the beltway and Tidwell area. Do you use the ticker? Do you know how to edit? I tried to but it just takes me back to creat a new one and not posting previous weight.

It really is a huge blessing. Many success stories. I am going to have to stop reading the negitivity. I was talking to my advocate and she was not putting anyone down but she said do what the doctor tell you to do and follow your diet you will do fine. She has been banded for about 8 years and still looks good. Are you in Houston as well?

I am going when school is out. I am am teacher so im getting in done around June 10th so I can have the whole summer to rest and get my self situated. Only thing I have left to do is my EDG and thats it. I talk to my advocate today and she said my insurance usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for approval.

That's good. I've heard many say they are tired for a couple weeks or so. I m excited and can't wait for my procedure. I need to make myself stop reading the negativity on other sites about the band. It's scary. But I can say I've meet many that has had success than failure.

Chas hi. When were you banded?

No problem.

What is this if I may asked?

Im sorry to hear that. Well at least it is only a week right? I have heard that that frist week is different for a lot of prople. Some I have talked with have no desire to eat or drink, others have a hard time getting things down and then some say they are starving as you. I have not been banded yet but you have no restriction at all?

I think that is great. I am very happy for you. Continued success ! ! ! ! I will be so glad when my turn come. I have seen many many positive results on this website.

I think anything between you and your employer is suppose to be confidential. Many people know at my work place because half has had it done themselves. Great support system as well.

Thanks. Same to you.

Everyone one here ir has been big or gotten out of control. Nothing to be embarressed about. I found there are no critiques on here just support. I'm embarressed of how out of control my size got but those pic I put up will remind me of what u don't want to go back to after this surgery if the lord say the same.

I have I have been researching for 3 years or so. However, everyone I have ran into and know that has had this surgery has not complain about this. This is the first time I am hearing of it. It was always the pain in the shoulder from gas and around the port area. I am going to ask my doctor is there anything that can be done to reduce the risk of this happening and how many of his patients have complained about this particular pain. I really home you feel better. From the looks of it it seem that it will go away. Hopefully soon.

Why are you upset by your pictures if I may ask?

They are low in water compared to other fruits and can have high calories.Meaning they are more carbs per bite. Small - 6-7" long - 90 calories Medium - 7-8" long - 105 calories Large - 8-9" long - 121 calories Extra-large - over 9" - 135 calories There is a great article ai read this is the link to it. Hope this helps http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/are-bananas-fattening-171942.html

Is this an on going condition or does it go away? I don't want to get second thoughts about the surgery.

Hi, yes my pain went away when I.had that stitch removed. My skin was growing around it. That's the only pain I experienced with those procedure. I would contact my doctor because it seems you are in some REAL discomfort. Best wishes

Sorry that you got sick. Usually surgeons wont perform on patients that are sick because there is a rick of upper respitory infection and pneumonia.

IM sorry to hear that you are in pain. I have not had the surgery yet but when I had my tummy tuck and lipo suction I was feeling the same on my side where they did they lipo and had left a stitch in. I am not sure if thats the problem but hope you get will soon.

I had my first consult last month around the 25th and it went well. so well i went ahead and started the process, They did insurance verification before hand so they had all that ready when I got there. I talked with my advocate and she answered any questions I had. They took , blood, did the EKG and physical exam. I also talked to the nutritionist. HAd my Psyc evaluation last wednesday and now I am going to schedule my EDG and that should be it. Hoping to have the surgery June 10th
