Welcome to all the new banders. This is a great board. Glad to have you here.

I get mine a DePaul. You will find that alot of doctors only do fills for the patients they did the surgery on. Since you had your surgery in Mexico alot of doctors wont do your fills. You should try a fillcenterusa.com

They give you a numbing shot. Then the stick a needle into your port and release saline into your band. It does not hurt you just fell pressure.

You are doing amazing. I am 4 months out and down 65lbs. I go for my 3rd fill this thursday. Cant wait.

Welcome Cynthia. Glad you joined us.

I am in Missouri and I have UHC Plus too. They DID NOT cover my surgery either. WLS is in the exclusion clause. I was a self pay patient.

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing? Hope you all had a great weekend. My brother and his wife had their baby on Saturday. The baby was born 2 months early. They had a little girl. She weighed in at 5lbs 4 oz. She is doing good.

I took those to start with then I realized the Flintstones do the same thing except cheaper.

I sat along the back wall too. Near the corner of the room. I though the butter comments were funny.

Did you guys go tonight. I was there. It was packed not a seat in the house. I was surprised. All the other ones I went to only had maybe 20 people.

It has been a journey but it is SOOOOOOOO worht it. You can be a success at this. My weight has come off rather fast... like RNY patients does. The DR is always impressed with my numbers. Its hard to believe sometimes that I have lost so much in so little time too.

Yes the May Center. Starts at 5:30pm Where do you live? Are you close to DePaul?
