gone 4 ever

no it does'nt sound crazy. I feel the same way. I go the 8th for pre-registration and blood work and surgery is on the 13th. I am getting petrified! so I understand. I think it perfectly normal. good luck!

thats really awsome! good luck. I get banded on the 13th. when is your banding date?:thumbup:

Rain, that is absolutly amazing! 100 lbs! Just think what size did you wear 100 lbs ago? and now your into what size again? That is fabulaous. Don't let it get you down. A big WOOOOHOOOOO for you. I love your pic. of yourself.

great feeling uh? Keep up the good work.

good luck to you all. I get mine on the 13th. so I understand the nerves and excitement! We will be able to go thru this together. That is exciting!:party:

WOOHOO congrats on the weight loss! That is fabulous:cool:

CONGRATS, sounds like fun. I can't wait to try on clothes and be able to shop and get cute clothes. To be able to were jeans again! Keep up the great work!

Dee, I am so SORRY. I would talk to my HR person and ask them to show you the exclusion and thell her what BC/BS told you. there might be a way around the exclusion.:crying:

definatly talk to your dr. before you do anything. If you have insurance be prepared to jump thru hoops for them. They don't make it easy for anyone to get any weight lose surgery. good luck.

CONGRATS SUE! That is wonderful! I get banded May 13th. I pray I get to say the same on my 1 yr anniversary. I am starting out at 309. So I am close to your starting weight.

Good luck this time marzipan. insurancesare so STUPID! to put it mildly.Some of the stuff thay cover without blinking an eye and this they make you jump thru hoops to get approved.:thumbup: They hollar preentative medicine, well help us out here. It's cheaper having the surgery than a lot of the other health risk. Most of us have tried everything under the sun and could'nt do it or it all came back plus more!. Sorry one of my pet peeves.:tongue_smilie:

From what the dr. said at the seminar I went to it is like a 1-2% chance of something bad happening.

Hi everyone. I am new here. I really am not 4 sure what to do so please bare with me. I go tomorrow to talk to the dr. about getting the lap band. I have already been to his semminar. I am scared I will screw up and sabbatoge myself before the surgury. I am assuming this is a normale feeling? Congrats on ya'll for having it done and good luck to those getting ready to have it done. and how do you get the cute ticker tapes?:thumbup:

good luck. I go monday and talk to the dr. to set up my banding. the pre-op diet is it all soups or what?
