  1. I didn't have to have 2-5 years of medical records either. I don't think it is required anymore as long as you have a letter of medical necessity from your PCP. Just FYI, Cigna will probably mail you the letter first informing you if it has been approved before they let the doctor's office know. That's how it worked with me anyway.
  2. :glare: Can someone please show me how to do a PB?? Please?? Anyone??
  3. I think I had to do a pb and I don't know how. Boo I guess none of you care. SERIOUSLY, HOW DID THIS GIRL PASS THE PSYCH EVAL??????
  4. You really need to see a doctor about your anxiety issues. You won't be able to live a happy normal life with the band if you don't get your anxiety under control. It's consuming you and it's not healthy at all. Did you have to have a psych eval before you got approved for a band?
  5. HELLO?? Why are you eating SF????
  6. If you're so weak and hungry why don't you eat some chicken drum sticks?
  7. Well why didn't you say that? OF COURSE you can have it on your preop diet. Don't you know you can have anything during preop? What does preop mean anyways? Sounds like some kind of soap opera to me.
  8. I think so. When I start to get that way, I usually know I need a fill soon.
  9. No, all carbs are off limit. Once you get the band you can't ever have another carb again. EVER.
  10. How did you know I did that???
  11. How much more?? Will my insurance pay for that???
  12. But I really hurt where my band is. And I want to get pregnant but I'm overweight by 200 pounds and my doctor won't help me get pregnant. Will the band help me?? Someone answer soon.
  13. No, I can't do anything for myself. Don't you know that's why I come here, so everyone can tell me exactly what to do??
  14. Douche? Do I have to do that in order to get a band???
  15. Knee gate? I have to have one of those if I get the band?? Where do I get it? Will my insurance pay for it???
  16. I'm from the ghetto. I don't know what big fancy words like negate means???
  17. Oh, the diet coke will fatten my liver, but not regular coke????
  18. Can someone tell me if diet coke will fatten my liver?? I really need to know this cause I don't need no fat on my liver.
  19. Was I supposed to be listening to my surgeon when he was talking? Cause I was too busy pickin my nose. I hope he didn't say anything important. Please answer soon.
  20. Was that what that was? I threw it away.
  21. Pre-op instructions? What's that?? Am I supposed to have that? Cause I just got my band today and I didn't get any pre-op. Please help.
  22. Don't forget about the diet dr pepper, but be sure to stir it up first with a spoon.
  23. Don't you all have anything better to do on a friday night besides make fun of people??? I'm telling my momma on all of you.
  24. Yes, you must go swimming, but only if you just had surgery yesterday.
  25. Liquid diet? Who said we had to do that? Is that required??
