I had the same exact thing. My doctor told me that it was gas and that I needed to move around more. I started to move more and the pain went away. It did take a little time but eventually it was gone.

Atlanta Johns Creek Lifetime Fitness? If anyone uses this gym and wants a partner to work out with please let me know. I find it more motivating when you have someone else to work out with. Had my band on 9/29/2008. Lost 30 lbs so far. I just joined the gym recently.

I did everything on the list that I am supposed to do.:biggrin: Now my doctor is compiling all the necessary paper work for the insurance company. I guess this is the hardest part now, just waiting to see if i am approved. Does any one else have Cigna and how hard was it to get approved? I'm so excited right now but also worried about the insurance approval.

I am just starting the whole process. My insurance company (CIGNA) tells me that i need a letter from my doctor stating that he has been monitoring me for a diet and excercise program for at least six months. I didnt know that they would need this and now I may have to wait until 6 months is up even to see if I can be approved. And then at the end of six months I may have lost a few pounds and I wont be eligible for the surgery. Even though I know I will gain it right back because thats what always happens to me. (lose a few, gain double) I am very frustrated with the process. I am going to see my doctor today and hopefully he will be able to give me a letter sooner. You see, I am a kidney transplant patient also and have high blood pressure. My doctor has been monitoring my weight for a long time and is all for the Lapband. I dont know what my doctor is going to say but he might just give me the letter sooner but the thought of having to wait 6 months longer just pisses me off. Did anyone have to get this kind of letter from their doctor? What exactly did it say? I dont want to have my doctor write a letter and find out that it needs to be written differently. Sorry if I rambled on but I just needed to vent.

I went to a seminar recently. I am so excited about getting the procedure done. I have alot of work to do now but in reading everybody elses replies, I am confident that everything will be OK. I am from Apharetta Georgia and I am using Atlanta Bariatrics, Dr. Hartand Dr. Johnson. Is anyone from this area of GA and did anyone use Atlanta Bariatrics?
