  2. anyone know if bcbs michigan covers tt
  3. i dont weigh ev ery day with i just do 1 time a month
  4. i thought takes 30 days for stomach to heal,i didnt even eat real food till 6 weeks after i was banded,was on mushies at 18 days,its not something that happens that fast,ive now at 9 months have lost 50 pds,some people is faster,but i noticed im at 10 cc in a 14 cc im not hungry hardly at all which is good,i walk 3 miles a day to,everyday ,at 18 days your stomach is till healing tillk u get the right fill i think it be a bit till weight loss
  5. i feel the food go thru but alls ok,i have now 10 ccs in a 14cc and im pretty sure this is my sweet spot,i dont eat alot and i get full fast and im losing fast now,hope that helps,i didnt get sick last fill once but just think it was what i ate,was nothing tho,
  6. im like 9 months out and so far no hair loss tg
  7. does anyone know if bcbs will pay for this?my backs been killing me for a long time now seems worse,its bcbs michigan
  8. hey all,i have bsbs and i was wondering if theyd cover getting my brests reduced and maybe lifted?if any one knows tghis anser,id be happy to knowmthanks
  9. i think having to pay for classes after surgery is crap.ive never gone to any of them and only way i could have suregry is i payed the 400
  10. few times ive been real tight i know when i follow what dr says 2 days liquids then soft 2 then food im alot better.i just went on shakes a week or so it lossened up,no way pay all that have take out ,i couldnt either
  11. well its good wasnt a hernia,i didnt want staples i had them done on my knbees before didnt like the scars from them so i was glued and my scars are gone pretty much tg for that
  12. Mine was a small hernia,only reason i know when dr did a scope thing on me he folund it,he fixed it during my suregery was under my rib,since then i never get that pain anymore
  13. One last thing i would have done just about anything to get the band.so i payed the 400,but when i think he gets this off of every person that he does is just wrong.even if the classes help,should have been my choice
  14. Yeah to be honest i feel i was wronged,all mine was covered but to force me to pay that,just was wrong.i think i should have been given the choice about the classes,the dr made a lot money off my insurance company then to ask me to pay 400 cash is justwrong,i had to charge it and ill be paying for along time on it.hell for all the money they make off fills exc..i feel som eone should pay us back that money.i totally agree.with you.is there a way id get it back well probley not.but to be forced to pay 400 for classes is just wrong.
  15. thing made me mad was i had to pay 400 for classes for after lap band,ive never gone to 1 that was 9 months ago,the place is way across town and rush hr id never go,i couldnt get the surgery unless i payed the dr this before it,like i threw away 400.00.i think c should have been my choice,or classes should have been near my house,but i feel like the place stole my money more or less
  16. i get that its heart burn but feels weirder now
  17. wow don thats great@@@@ hope your wife changes her mind,i went and weighed and im down 54 pds,seems this last fill really helped me cut back on amount and stuff.i keep pushing back my nxy fill cause for now im not eating that much,and figure another one well id not at all at the time,in am i just have a protien drin k and lunch maybe 3 oz tuna and dinner just some meat very small aount i eat and maybe few bites vegtables.i had few cherrys yesterday to,i dont eat much potisem so im gonna pick me up some kiwi,to help there,is yr wife scared to get the lap band,i know know ones happy being over weight,i guess it takes the person to want it,but anyway wtg you,i was so happy other day i put on a shirt i used to work on and it fit,so that made me happy,im just diapointed that before i got the lap band i had gained 50 pds more,now gone,but i think dang if i hadntg gained that id really be looking better,but i must be happy with whats now.well anyway keep in touch wtg anyone else keep it up
  18. my backs been killing me ,even more since ive been losing i guess i need to tell my dr more,id really like to get themn smaller,i wonder if bcbs would approve it,my hubby works for gm
  19. That doesnt seem like a big fill to me,my first was 2 cc well almost each one was 2cc at a time,just make sure u follow the liquids after,i cheated the first few times,i could eat right after when i got to 7cc i tryed it was sick for awhile after that fill,its 7 months now and i have 9 cc in a 14 cc and the fill is just great,i eat just real small amounts and im full,im not gonna go back for another fill till i can eat more amounts,hopefully i wont have to for awg hile i canceled my last appt,because it seems im ok for now,dont want to over due it,as the fills get more just be careful to follow that liquids 2 days soft 2 days then food,i made the mistake that one fill,and felt sick for weeks,i then understaood why my dr had me do that,gl
  20. o i forgot i lost 55 so far,and its coming off faster now
  21. to lose weight to you have to exersize,i walk 2 miles everyday or more,its hothere so i go when sun goes down.alot days i dont want to go but i do.i watch what i eat,i have a 14 cc b andand have 9 cc,i lost another 10 pds last month and this month doing better,its been 7 months,i dont think i need another fill this m onth cause im not hungry and im not eating a whole lot,as far as scars mine is like almost gone.they healed great,
  22. im still mad i had to pay for classes after i had my lap band done,was 400 and ive never gone to any of them,its to far from my house for me to go
  23. i didnt even eat reg food till 5 weeks after lap band,and when i did i followed it ,plus walked everyday since ive had it
  24. hey all,i had to pay 400.00 for classes after the surgery was over.the place is to far,so ive never gone to any of these classes.kinda makes me mad i had to pay for this when ive never used it,like i gave 400 a way for nothing
