I'm just feeling it today
hello friends I wanted to update. this is an amazing tool .... I am so fortunate to had been able to have this surgery! I now catch myself seeing an overweight person and feeling bad for them. I wish this surgery was available to everyone! HW 268 SW 259 CW 187 last August vs last week I would like another 20 lbs....or just tone up. I can't afford to lose anymore on my boobs!!! and I now have a visible collar bone!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app

had my surgery today!
hi Brenda...i just saw ur post. the band is a Velcro type girdle....i would tighten it and it was very comfortable. it helped when you tried to get up from laying or sitting. it just made me feel better...like I was being held together. i would recommend it. best of luck....i will tell u, u will question your choice for the first week or so. but if you follow the directions from your doctor, you will feel better. i guarantee that once you get used to your new lifestyle, you will NOT regret the surgery. good luck

United Health Care Insurance
I have UHC. My doctor's office ran all the insurance paperwork for me. I was required 6 months nutritionist visits, EGD, psych evaluation, sleep apnea....and I think that's all. I started in April 2016, met with the surgeon 7/21/16....done with all my requirements 9/1/16...and I was approved 2 weeks later. Surgery 10/26/16. I had gastric bypass. good luck...I paid $2500 out of pocket....just the hospital stay was 35k for two days!!! I would have never been able to do it without UHC Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

hi..yes I love the UH Parma team. Dawn was my nurse...so sweet and helpful. Nutritionist is always nice....do you work with her...can't think of her name. a coworker had the doctor you are going to ...she seemed pleased. I go to the doc on Friday for my 90 check up. I guessing I'm down about 43 lbs since surgery. 51 lbs from my highest late summer. I feel great!
