I have had 2 fills, the first one I felt nothing. The second one, I felt nothing for about 2 weeks. I even called my doctor because I didn't feel anything right away. They told me to wait the 2 weeks and sure enough it started working after the 2 weeks. I lost 10.4 pounds in the 5.5 weeks in between my second fill and my appt. I did not get a third fill because they felt I was doing good.

I have had 2 fills 2 cc's, my surgery was 11/02/05. I went in 2 days ago on the 14th for a possible fill and since I had lost 10.4 pounds since my last fill I did not have a fill. I did not feel any different with the first fill. With the second I noticed a great difference about 2 weeks afterwards. Right now, I think I am doing well, I might not need any more fills. Time will tell (and the scale).

Well, I have been approved, my surgery date is 11/2/05. I can't wait. One question I have is was it difficult to do the liquid diet the 2 weeks before surgery? I wouldn't need the surgery if I could go on a liquid diet for 2 weeks.

I can't believe it. My paperwork was sent in to HHP on Wednesday and I received an approval letter on Saturday.........

I am so excited, my paperwork was sent in for authorization yesterday. I am hoping to be approved within the next week. I have 2 insurances, HHP as primary and St Mary's as secondary. Does anyone know if I can schedule my surgery before my secondary approves? I know if they don't approve, I will be paying the difference.

I am hoping that within the next couple of weeks my paperwork will be sent in. I have my upper GI tomorrow and I am hoping that this is it. I also would like to get down to 140, which means I have about 80 pounds to lose. I am so looking forward to this surgery. I don't remember the last time that I actually felt comfortable.

Hi, my name is Lorna. I live in Sparks and I am going through the hoops to get approved. I am attending the Support Group tonight and then I am seeing the nutritionist at UNR on Monday. I have heard that HHP makes it pretty difficult to get approval for this procedure but I am hoping I have all my ducks in a row when the paperwork is submitted. I am very excited about this procedure and I am hoping to be close to my goal by next May when my husband and I go on a cruise for our 25th anniversary. I have enjoyed reading all your messages.
