I
I started walking 2 weeks after surgery. I started basic squats and lunges 5 weeks after. I started weights at about 8 weeks. Now I do Swallow Cliff in Palos Hills IL once a week. It's 125 stair up and I do them about 7x up and down. I continue to challenge myself, May 30th I'm doing a 5k.
I had my lapband done in December by Dr. Olsofka, who is in the same group with Schuster and Lusco. I also have Anthem BC/BS. Anthem covered my surgery for the most part. I wound up having to pay St. Mary's $1200, which I am paying off $200/month. I did meet all the criteria for the surgery - 100 lbs overweight, Ty 2 diabetes, high blood pressure. My BC/BS is with the federal govt because I'm retired Civil Service. I don't know if all Anthem BC/BS is the same or not. Good luck. Debbie and Lana were very helpful with me.
