well i finally got a apointment for the one on one nutrition class. then they can seen the paper work in. my apointment is june the 9th at st.vincents east. so maybe by the end of june i will hear something from bc/bs.

thanks. im not giving up now.

i was so happy for him when he started walking by his self in the pool. he looked so happy.

thanks savebygrace. i called today to get the ball going. they are going to call me back. but i thing i will call them later today. i just wish neoami would have told me earlier. but i can handle it. not going to give up.

thats good to see. my starting weight was 409 and i have lost down to 389 now. but im still waiting on the band. so im hoping to lose alot of weight like you when i get it. i try to go to the gym 3-4 times a week. i would like to get to 225-250. i will be happy there. keep up the good work and keep us updated.

im not banded yet but in the process of gettting it done. so i would be up for something maybe.

:sad_smile:well i got to talk to neoami today to check on my paper work. she told me that bc/bs with intracorp has changed what you have to get done now. she said that i have to do a one on one nutrition class. and still do one before the surgery. so i got to go and do this one on one class before she can send the paper work in. i asked why she didnt emailed or called me about this yet. she replyed that she hasent had time. i was like wth. i been waiting so long. but im not giving up im going to get this done and pray. she also told me after she sends the paper work in it will be up to one month to get an answer. whats next.:confused2:

hello everyone, first congratz to everyone that has got the band. im hoping to hear anytime about mine. just waiting on the bc/bs to send me the letter. im using dr.miles. this has been one long road. it has been 10 months since i seen dr.miles for the first time. and now im just waiting. maybe i will get some good news soon.

looks like your off to a great start.:cursing: and you can really tell it in your face. on a side note. how did you like dr.miles? im going to him and hoping to get my bc/bs papers any day now.

its one of the wprst waiting games there is.:cursing:

congratz! im still waiting. it is killing me waiting like this. i had to jump alot of hoops to get this done. so im hoping to get my letter soon. im going to call this week if i dont hear anything.

congratz. and thanks for the great play by play action. sounds like you are doing great. hope it works out great for you. maybe i will hear something soon about mine.

is there a limit on how much you can pick up. i work for a water works company, and i do about everything there. i was planning on taking a week off.

good to see you are feeling better pizzaman. im hoping i will be there soon. this last 2-3 months is so lonng it seems.

thanks john for the info on the lemon and lime powder. i will put that opne in my book for when i get my band done.

the way i do it is. i take down what i eat everyday. and when i work out and for how long. then i give that to the doctor every month. then he ask me how im doing and hat im doing to lose wait. and he fills out a blue paper forum and keeps one for every month. hope that helps too.

ok, this is what i was told by my doctor. i need to have a 6 month watched diet by my family doctor. which means 7 visits. like this- start first visit here---> july-sept=1,sept-oct=2,oct-nov=3,nov-dec=4,dec-jan=5,jan-feb=6. now i hope the doctor was right about this too. but as you can see you go seven times (7 visits) to your family doctor or who ever is doing your diet program. but i actually got to go tomarch because my family doctor had a medical em. to deal with on my 5ht visit day. so it got moved 6 days. so that makes me going to the first of march. and he made sure it wasnt going to mess me up any. and i pray to god it dosent.

thanks for the heads up on it. i cant wait to get this done. im being working really hard on this and just would hate to fight the ins. company to get it done.

its getting closer for me too. i got 2 more visits for the 7 month thing. and i got to still do my sleep study and my psych eval. im just worried about getting turned down. but my family doctor has done this before and sayed i have nothing to worry about.

theres one after the seminar on the 19th. at st.vincents east. or at least thats what i wa told.

hello everyone one. is anyone going to be at the support group on the 19th?

i know the feeling. i have been to the doctor 6 times. so thats 6 co-pays. and also it was 165 for the first visit with dr.miles, my band doctor. now i got to the 16th to set up a date for my sleep study. and i not sure how much that will be. then after that i got set up a time to visit for the psych eval. and i also got 2 more times to see my doctor so more co-pays. but i look at it like this. spend a some money now to make it better for a long time.

grats on the 100 pound mark whosyadaddy! im hoping it works out great for me too. i was 409 when i first seen the doc, and now im at 387. thats after 5 months dieting. and when i get the band, im hoping to lose alot more. i like reading about how the guys are doing. you dont see many at the support groups. so its nice to get there side of the banded life. jason r
