  1. OMG I am going thru the same thing....I am 2 mos. post op...it is almost well but it is so sore...sometimes it is agonizing..I was putting water proof bandages on there and it seemed to make it worse..
  2. I think after it was submitted it took about a week...I hope it is fast for ya I know the anxiety you are feeling.
  3. My ins. is Cigna and they were great....paid 100 % I did not have to put out one dollar.....I wish you good luck.....but Cigna was good to me Paula
  4. I am having the same problem myself....My doc told me he did not think I would need a fill at 1 month post op.....I think I am gonna have to tell him otherwise.....I though I would determine when I needed a fill !!!!!!!!

  7. I have people like that around me too.....I think I may have even lost my best friend....she has not called or even seen me since my surgery.She was against it from day one.....but I am doing good hang in there it is hard, but I believe whole heartedly it will all be worth it in the end!
  8. I thought about having this "thing" in me but I am getting over that I am 5 days out of surgery and I am feeling really good about it. My weight was out of control no matter what I did....I was 320 pounds 3 weeks before surgery I am 291 today that is 29 pounds...I have not seen the day I could lose 29 pounds in four weeks. This procedure I believe will save me from myself. Go for it!
  9. Oh it is a nerve wracking experience....you will be glad when it is over...It was not at all as bad as what I had pictured in my mind I was really scared and emotional myself. I would do it again in a minute though. Just have faith in your doctor and his staff. Good Luck ,just last Sunday I was in your shoes. I feel good today. You will too just follow what your doctor says.
  10. Sounds like your experience was as good as mine was....I am 5 days out and I am feeling good....I was awfully afraid of being naked and about my boobs also....I guess we are all afraid of about the same things...I am so glad I did it. I hope you are too.
  11. Yeah I was banded on 4/28/08 and today I feel fine,I have not even had any pain meds today.
  12. I was banded on 4/28/08 and I have the same thing...I wondered if it just might be some swelling due to surgery. It does go away but comes back.
  13. I just got my Lap Band on 4/28/08.....I feel pretty good today I have not even taken an pain medication.I have looked at others on here and everyone looks good.....Congrats I hope I too will have success I have been overweight all my life...I have lost tons of weight only to put it right back on. The Lap Band is gonna save me! I am determined.:rolleyes2:
