Thank you all so much! This really helps with the decision factor. I'm praying it all works out. Thank you once again! Rhonda

Hello everyone, I've been going back and forth with my insurance company about having the band done. They have agreed to do it, but my insurance changed this month. The new insurance doesn't cover this procedure. I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate on how much this procedure was in Mexico? I'm trying to save some money not, but it's very difficult being a single mom. Thank you for any information that you can provide. Rhonda

Hello and thank you guys. I'm going to talks more with my doctor. I have an apt. on next Tuesday. Thanks once again! Rhonda

I think that Gayle has it right. If you do it first then you will know how to better care for your husband. Good Luck and I know your doing the right thing! Keep positive thoughts and look forward to a wonderful "lighter" future you! Rhonda

Hello everyone, I’ve finally gotten an apt. for the diet doctor and hopefully the surgeons. I’m very happy about this.:clap2: It’s been a long time and my insurance runs out at the end of November. The problem that I’m faced with is, my regular doctor said that I need to have the bypass surgery. I thought that I had my mind made up to have the lap band done. But now I’m undecided. I know that there are positive and negative’s for either one. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> If anyone here can tell me why you choose the lap band instead of the bypass it would help me with making my decision. <o:p></o:p> Thank you in advance for anyone that can help out with this. <o:p></o:p> Rhonda

Hello, I was looking around online and seen mini gastric bypass surgery. Its completed in 30 min's and your out of the hospital in 1 day. I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this procedure, and if anyone has given it any thought of trying this instead of a lap~band? Please let me know, I'm now undecided between the two. Thank's for any information or advice you have or imput. Rhonda

Thanks for the advice, I've been trying and not having much sucess with it either. I'm trying to practice for when I start my band life as well.

I think that the first thing you should do is call your insurance company. If you have any questions on what's covered and what's not. That's what I did and found out that its covered with what I have now, but in December my coverage is changing to Aetna. I called Aetna and gave them the company's group number to see what's covered and what's not. I'm hoping that I can get this completed before December when my current coverage changes. I also told my current doctor's that my coverage is changing in December and if there was anything that they could do to hurry the process up. So far I had the second apt. before my mother did, and we went to the same first apt. She just got her second apt for Aug. 29th. I'm going to try and call them tomorrow and see if they have any further information on when I can have the next apt. I'm trying to loose enough weight before hand so I wont have to starve my fool self for the last stretch of this process. Its also been a long process, but I'm hoping to see the light coming soon. Take care and good luck with everything and please keep us all posted on how things are going.

I think it's only natural for everyone to "check out" every one's pictures. I'm sure every one on here has done it, but I don't think the women are "checking ~ checking :eyebrows: out" the pictures like your talking about.

I haven't tried Limewire yet. I use soulseek and havent gotten any viruses. Download's are pretty fast depending on your connection.

Happy Birthday to everyone that has a one this month!!!! :happybday2: Hope you all have a wonderful time on your special day!!!
