Hello & welcome! Sorry, but I too was self pay. If I were you I would do a search at the top of the page in the old posts. That should help with your questions. See you around...........Jess

I'm not a man, but I would like to welcome you anyway! LOL! Good luck to you!

Hey Dani! Welcome to Band land! I too hope you have a speedy recovery!

Hello & welcome Janet! What was the date of your 2nd banding?

Welcome Janey!

Congrats! I'm so happy for you!

Congrats! Can't wait to get there myself!

Happy Birthday!

Same here too. Since I'm not keeping the airconditioning cranked down, our electric bill went from almost $200 to $104 last month.

Just noticed that there were quite a few names on the birthday list that I recognized. So...... Happy Birthday!

Welcome to Band land! Congrats on your surgery tomorrow, or well, I guess it's today. LOL! Remember to update us on your progress! Hope you have a speedy recovery!.........Jess

Hello! Welcome to Band land! Congrats on your surgery! I would suggest going to the food forum. You can find lots of ideas there. Hope to see you around!.........Jess

Welcome & congrats on the surgery date! Can't wait to read your update after surgery. & this is an awesome place!

Welcome! I think this is the best place for support whether you are pre or post band. It was nice to meet you! Good luck!...........Jess

Goodness! How scary! I'm glad you're okay!

Okay, that really does sound good! & it just doesn't get much better than 30g of protein at once! Thanks!

I saw an advertisement on TV today about the Lap-band.The St. Vincent Weight Loss Center is now doing the surgery too. Private message me if you would like the number.

Bumping this one cause it's good info.

You'll get it! Hang in there. It took me 3 fills before I had any noticeable restriction. I think I could use a little more, but I want to give this a try for a while. Good luck! It's nice to know that there is someone close to home going through the same things that I am. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions..........Jess

Welcome! I wish you luck with your insurance! I say FIGHT! Also find out if the company you work for chose an opt out clause for any kind of obesity surgery. That was my case! We had United Healthcare at the time. Good Luck!

I would like to have see that doctor (overweight & having asthma) take his own advice & try to run! Un-ladylike snort inserted here! I feel your pain with the asthma thing! Thanks for bumping! Great thread!

Awesome!! That is a great accomplishment! I'm so happy for you! The bananas are dancing for you!! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

WTG! Isn't it a good feeling! Also send you my sympathy in regards to the funeral!

Congrats! I am so happy for you! Glad you are doing good! & welcome to loserville!

It took me 3 fills to get good restriction. I'm now at 2.5 cc & I could probably still be a little tighter but I'm choosing to remain here for a while. Up until I had this last fill I was even gaining weight. Hope this helps!
