I'm in for march first

I had my surgery in DEC. and have blue cross they were great the covered everything except 200.

hello Jill welcome, Sherry good to see your up and about, yes guess we missed february .. had a fill this month, a generous fill 1.5 cc on top of my 1cc, I only lasted 24 hours it hurt so bad just to drink.. had 1 cc taken out now I feel great and am losing

lived through an over fill had 1.5 cc put into my band for a total of 2.5 had to have 1 cc removed.. could not even drink protein without pain 1/3 200 1/8 202 1/16 199 1/26 198 1/30 198 2/6 197 2/19 195

Glad everything went well, and you are home..

Well Sherry, tomorrows the big day! just stopping by this morning to wish you well. now I'm off to work (hopping the snow stays away 12 hours at work is long enough dont want to have to do 16 ..lol) Your in my thoughts and prayers

working Monday so weighting in a day early one pound loss 1/3 200 1/8 202 1/16 199 1/26 198 1/30 198 2/5 197

hello, my BMI was 40 I weighted in at 212 day of surgery and know what your saying I would go into the office and people would say why would I want to be banded, I don't weight that much. well its more then just that my body isn't even made for 200lbs, my knees hurt along with difficulty breathing so all the problem u have I have. I would say and at 46 I'm not looking to be a model, just feel good and have less pain. I think its wonderful u got yourself down to185 how with the bands help you can help yourself get healthier. best of luck

OK everyone I'm having a poor me day. one week out from first fill and nothing! not a pound not even an ounce off.only a slight discomfort under my rib cage and hunger pains

sherry, ur in my thoughts and prayers. Why do insurance company think they need to fix what not broken

Melissa, I started in Aug had my surgery in DEC spent 8 hours at baystate.Surgery at 1 out at 8 pm ,with in a week I was back to my old self, but took two weeks off of work my choice and don't have one complaint about Dr Fiallo! just had my first fill 7 weeks post op (due to my days off at work) next fill 2/14 ps one month from ok to surgery almost to the date

hello I had my first fill on Jan 26. 1 cc in a 4 cc band! don't feel any difference, my next fill is for Feb 14 for .5cc hoping for the best

nothing lost, nothing gain! first fill was last Thursday doesn't feel any different 1/3 200 1/8 202 1/16 199 1/26 198 1/30 198

hello Melissa, who a PVS is doing ur surgery and how did u get mercy hospital.. lol I'm from western mass and just had Fiallo do mine in Dec, but had it done at bay state. best of luck to u my husband had gastric bypass at mercy and was well taken care of..

Sherry, days will fly by now. keep on updating best of luck

hi I basically was told yesterday.. went for my first fill it would be 1 cc first then .5 cc next two. then .25 but I have a 4cc band.. when I questioned it he said that's how they keep track. also if in two weeks I needed more to just call and not wait till my 4 week apt for my next fill. they do this for both the small and larger bands at this office, each Dr has their own set up.

Welcome, before I began, I called my insurance company and asked them to send me every thing in their weight loss & healthy living section of the policy my employer had. This included not only weight loss but discounts they gave to gyms or weight watches. I reviewed this and went from there. Good luck

hello all, today I had my first fill. 1 cc in a 4 cc band to date I have lost 14 lbs post surgery, and have dug out the tread mill
