Nice! Good luck! When did you have surgery and if you don't mind me asking how much have you lost?

I'm only a month and my band is just on right now, until my first fill December 2nd. I have lost 18 my first month and now I'm at a Plateau in my weight loss.

Did you get spitty after your first fill?

I have my first fill on December 2nd. What should I expect?

How long should I wait after a meal to drink some Water?

I didn't need to take my meds I wasn't uncomfortable at all.

Pretty good. I haven't had to take my pain meds at all. I'm a little sore, but that's expected.

I got banded Monday. I did not stay over night. I'm on liquids hopefully only a week.

I was banded Monday too, and I started to eat Jello Tuesday. I just eat it with a baby spoon and make sure it is chewed up a little.

Thank you everyone!

Thank you!! Im only 19 so I'm kinda self conscious and don't want extra skin.

I have my surgery on October 20th and I have a few questions.

1) How long is surgery?

2) Is there a chance of having excess skin after surgery and losing weight?

3) Do the fills and adjustments hurt?

Thanks in advanced!

I'm going through the same doctor! My surgery is planned for October 20th. If you have any good tips I would love to hear them!

When they send it in to insurance make sure you hound insurance! They work for you! You pay them!! I stayed on them and got approved with in a week!

I stayed on top of insurance and got approved the next day!

Well just the process sorry I worded that funny, but the pre diet and what not.

MY INSURANCE FINALLY GOT APPROVED! Surgery is OCT 20th! Just ready for these next steps... If anyone has any advise thru these next few steps that would be great!

Thank you so much! Yeah my mom got gastric bypass, and she's been telling me to call at least once a week if not every other day to push them!

Hi there,

Just turned my information into insurance. This is so new to me, I would love for some advise, or tips.

Also, how long should insurance take? I understand everyone is different. I'm going through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois. I'm hoping I can get this scheduled soon.

Thank you in advanced!
