  1. 3 months post-op and having setbacks...

    short&chunky replied to beachygirl2003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I was banded on May 26th and have only lost 13 lbs... I have had the same feeling... When I eat, it feels like I've swallowed a quarter. Terrible pain, I've thrown up a couple of times. I've had 2 fills since the surgery. I'm not losing weight! I'm getting discouraged.

  2. Frustrated with Fills!!

    It's been a week since I had it done... I have had heart burn non stop. Is that normal? Will it ever go away?

  3. Surgery in 1 week...so NERVOUS!!

    I am considering getting my lap band in Tiauana, MX with Dr Gonzalez. Can anyone give me feed back on her and on the facility in Mex. Is it safe?

  5. paper work submitte to UHC

    short&chunky posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
    The Dr's office submitted my paper work today to UHC. My insurance covers this surgery if I meet their criteria. My BMI is 39.8 weight 197 and am 4"11. I have high blood pressure and sleep ap. Do you think I'm a good candidate for the insurance to pay. I'm really excited.
