Patiently Awaiting

Hello, I am looking into getting my lap band removed after 3 years and revised to the sleeve. Has anyone had this done through Cigna insurance? Just wondering was it hard for approval.

Hello All, Today I made a year!! Whoohoo! A year ago i had the lap band and it was the best decision i have ever made. I feel i should have lost more by now but at the same time everyone’s body is different and i am very thankful for the 42 pound loss. Been at a standstill for a few months, but I’ve came too far to just give up. I feel my body has gotten used to my routine (exercise & eating) and i need to step it up to shake it out of its coma lol.. If anyone has any advice please feel free to share with me. Thank You and all new bansters congrats on you new journey and i wish everyone the best :-)

Also banded on 7/31/13... We arent far from are year!! How has the experience been for yall?

That is awesome that you have dedicated so much time to your workouts. I need to step it up If i want to see the results. I love your moto "If it doesn't challenge you it doesn't change you". I will keep that in mind

WOW Zingythingy!! Keep up the good work!!

Thank You :-)

Congrats MammaJamma42!! You have done great. Yes you are so right there is no time limit and everyone’s body is different. They do say it’s better for it to come off slow. So i will work harder and stay patient as i am truly blessed for the pounds i have lost :-)

Thats a good suggestion you made to your husband Terrie lol And it save you money as well :-)

Welll its good someone can relate lol I hope you are at your sweet spot despite your cycle time. I hate i didnt do measurements in the beginning :-( but i guess it is never too late to do it as i want to get off atleast another 40-50 pounds and maintain.

I have a 10cc band and i my last feeling was about 2 months ago and i am at 7.4cc and i do have good restriction but the strange thing is ive just been maintaining. Some days i go down 2-3 and back to where i was. I exercise as well so im confused. I feel if i get any more in my band i wont be able to get down anything. So I think i may just need to make an appointment to talk with them to see if im doing something wrong.

Hi Brittani87. Dont give up and try to stay positive. Like you said you have not gained all the weight back and you should pat yourself on the back for what you have lose. How many CCs or in your band? Did the doctor suggest a fill?

Hello everyone, i was banded 7/31/13. I wanted to check to see how all was doing. We are not far from our year anniversary!! My weight loss has slowed down and has stayed the same for the past month or so. Can anyone relate any suggestions for me?

Im near spring area in Houston. Lap band 7/31/13

Hello, I am not far from spring area right on 1960/45n. I am looking for a buddy as well, as i feel that i should have lose more weight than what I have thus far. 30 pounds since July 31st, which i am grateful but i have been at a stand still for a month now. And I am worried if i get another feel it will be too tight, as i am filled at 7 i believe and some food does goes down slowly, so i do have the retriction but havent seen the results on the scale lately and i do workout.

Hello everybody, today I will be banded. my check in time is 9am. I have been up since 4am, anxious with butterflies in my stomach lol. I am so excited huuuuh I have already took my before pictures this morning to have for a future ref of how far i came. i am just ready for these pounds to start dropping off. I give thanks to the Man above for making away for me. This is my time and it's time for a change. I will keep you posted after surgery and let you know how everything went.
