Hi Tina,I'm in NC and went through the same thing.I got all the info they needed then submitted my paperwork in but had to go back and have labs taken again get my 5 yrs history faxed over to the doctor again it was a headache.I didn't get a denial or approve letter from my insurance comp.I went through alot it was a year and some months before i got the call that my surgery date was 6-30-08 and what a very happy day that was.It took a year for me b/c of family issue i had to deal with and i had to focus on my mom instead of me.I've been banded for almost 2months,2 months on the 30th and it's been good and bad.stay positive everything will be good

i had my first fill on aug 27th at the hosp.it was a experience but fast

call me crazy ladies but my secret crush is robin thicke,he is so handsome

I am a single bandster 32 yrs old no kids and can't wait to meet someone special banded on 6-30-08.I wonder do anyone get the guys that say they want to be friend but w/benifits .I realize that is not what i'm looking for these days i want to meet someone that want me for me and a real relationship.Where are those men these days? It's so hard to get out and date again feel like i forgot how Haha

I had my surgery on 6-30 and i picked the realize band so far i've lost 16 pounds.Have any had any problems feeling the port,i have a friend that was banded on 6-9 and she went with the lapband and i can feel her port. I also wanted to know when you get your first fill did anyone have to drink any fluids and is it painful.I go for my first fill 8-21.I haven't noticed alot of weight coming off can anyone give some advise

p.s how do you get the ticker on ,i've tried but i don't know what i do wrong?
