The best thing to do is call your dr.

You are on your way Onnie67. Sounds like you are ready. That is a very good start. Good Luck!!!

Good for you! Hey...whatever works. Keep up the loving.

Noboby is perfect. Quit beating yourself up over nothing. You are trying the best you can. Remember to chew, chew, chew. I too would take another bite once the horrible pain was over. Good Luck!

I would call the insurance company every other day.

When you go shopping for new clothes.

I drink 30 minutes before a meal. Usually, I can wait 1-2 hrs after a meal before I start feeling the thirst coming on.

Good Luck to you!

I had my partial hysterectomy done in 2001 and I am so glad I did. Good Luck!!

Salam, Hang in there. We are here to help. You can pm me if you like. Good Luck!!!

The only thing my UHC plan required was that I had to have 3 out of 5 issues with my health which I did. I had sleep apnea, high blood pressur, and was borderline diabetic and of course a high BMI. Good Luck!

Hang in there FireDust. I hope it all works out for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers...sending you Good Luck!!!

You should know better. Weren't you given a post-op diet from your Dr? You risk doing damage to the band. Remember it's a tool. And McDonald's...come on!!!

I hope all goes well.

My thoughts and prayers are with you!

PIX is right. Gee I wish I could have had her words of encouragement when I started my journey. All of you are doing so well. Better than you think!!! Good Luck!!

Welcome and Good Luck!!!

Hello...my weight was 267. I was pre-diabetic, had high blood pressure and also sleep apnea. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in Apr 05. My primary dr told me that when I had lost 25 % of my weight that he would have me do another sleep study. We'll see. Good Luck!!!

Sending you prayers and Good Luck!!!!

Kuchiegrl1...stop feeling sorry for yourself and get back on the program. You can do this. Try to watch what you eat and get another fill. You made a wise decision in getting the LB so use it to your advantage. Don't let what the other girls at work are doing get you depressed. Look at the weight you have lost. Congradulate yourself, be proud, and know that you are a stronger person today than you were before the LB. Have a good day!

KICK! KICK! Gwhite. Hang in there. Things will get better. You can do this!!! Be proud of yourself for what you have already accomplished. Snap out of it and get back on the program. Good Luck!

Well...you are just going to have to be patient. Either call yourself or have whoever has the insurance do it. Having the group # will help as well as the insureds ID that is on their card.

It took me 3 fills. Even then I thought it wasn't enough, but after 2 weeks, boy was it working. That was on 12/18/07. I have lost 24 lbs since then. You need be patient. You will get there.

Call your Dr. or ask the nurse.

Hang in there. You can do this. Good Luck!
