So again??? I might have missed it.... Doesnt Insurance pay for Fills.. or at least a % or is it considerd post-op where you dont pay... ugh im so lost now... i think im not reading right Im sorry

Thank You... as soon as I lose weight you better belive i will be trying, I dont think hubby will complain hahaha right now at 330lbs i cant put my life or a babies life at risk... The Lapband will allow me to make my dream happen in having a baby... enought dogs i want a baby!! LOL

Read Tread called TrishS.. I bumped it for you there might be somthing there that will help you I will look for more to bump

Hi Amber, I havent been Banded yet, but other then losing weight Im getting banded to have children, I have none now and I made sure i would be able to with the Lab Band and thats what I like about it is that you can. Once you have the Lapband for a while and you are "filled" you can be unfilled (lapband still in place) and have that chance to have kids. This was truly one of my conserns in my decsion. I want kids so bad.. and with the LapBand I can have that dream! There is another post on here talking more about it.. I will find it and bump it up for you.. Good luck with everything

Ahhhhh how cute are they!!! wow I love looking at pictures... I dont have any children to send pictures of... and I wont send mine Im to scared.... So thanks for sharing all of yours

I bet your hubby is walking around with a smile lol

Oh wow theres bras out there.. I have been wearing tank tops under everything hehehe nawwww I buy mine at WalMart little JMS cheapy things for 10.00 nothing fits me... its hard to find a 44 A come on... when i do find them.. they are so uncomfy I hate bras i wish we didnt have to wear them lol before i gained so much weight i was wearing a 36 AA yeah thats almost a training bra LOL told ya i have nothing there just everything everywhere else

My hubby would say..... You dont need a treadmill, you dont need a bike, you dont need weights, you have me..... LOL if he could last as long a a treadmill it might be worth it huh LMAO just kidding... Im the one not wanting sex... being so big i cant move, my back hurts i want to cry, and its hard to breathe... my poor baby he cant wait until i lose weight

Thank You Betty.. You all have been such a great help to me.. and wonderful support!!!

That has been one of my worries but I have had it done before and i was fine after... just had a bit of a cough but im a smoker so that doesnt help... You will be fine

Californians So as not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan jokes, you know you're from California if: 1. Your coworker has 8 body piercing's and none are visible. 2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house. 3. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English. 4. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Flower. 5. You can't remember . . . . is pot illegal? 6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor. 7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee Beans are grown, and you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian. 8. You can't remember is pot illegal? 9. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears. 10. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S. 11. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney. 12. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment. 13. You can't remember . . .is pot illegal? 14. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station: "STORM WATCH." 15. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cells or pagers. 16. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents. 17. HEY!!!! Is pot illegal???? 18. Both you AND your dog have therapists. 19. The Terminator is your governor. 20. If you drive illegally, they take your driver's license. If you're here illegally, they want to give you one

Welcome!!! and Good Luck with everything

Me either... My dog even barks at me if I try to sing... but a lot in my family plays intruments.. like drums and guitar... I will settle for my scrapbooking hehehe

I have NO breasts now, i can only imagne after or when i start losing weight Ahhhh you all can share with me hehehe

26lbs? wow that is awesome... Keep up the good work!!! And Welcome!!

Welcome Neil... When I started my reserch on the Lap-Band this site helped me a lot.. I knew i wanted the LapBand over the bypass but this site confrimed every question I ha. Read everything it is so helpful

WOW, <jaw is dropped> You look great! I hope I look like that after my banding and hard work.. Thanks for sharing

ROTFLMAO Thats a good one Penni

Oh I so wish I could.. banded or not it would be a great thing to do, I just cant even walk to my car or mailbox without wanted to curl up in a ball and cry from pain. Good luck with the walk though!

OMG you all are funny!! me and hubby stay way from rough sex now and im not banded... just becuase im afriad of breaking the bed from the weight hehehe. couple of middle legs are already broken... good use of old college books hehe

Way to go!! nice to hear your recovery is doing well keep us posted

Well i think everyone gave great info, and I agree and go with them. I havent been banded yet and I have looked in the Bypass but relized i wasnt ready for a "inside body makeover" I love my insides i dont want to lose them hehe also i chose the Lap-Band because I will lose weight slower, there is no chance of gastric juice leakage, its reversable, adjustable.. and most important to me anyway I will be able to have children. Good Luck with your reserch and let us know what road you will be taking!
