Getting closer to getting banded
DebNH replied to Long2BFree's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow...congrats! It's a long road. I'm green with envy. :biggrin:I am in the early stages of this process and to have a surgery date seem's like an eternity away. GOOD LUCK Deb -
WOW.... today?! OMG that is awesome!!! I hope all goes well for you. GOOD LUCK :thumbup: Deb

BiCoastal... I'm sending you a big hug girl!!!! Shesh, what a run around. Stay strong and keep your chin up. Soon enough you will be telling us about your weight loss. And I'll be green with envy; I can't even get an appointment with a surgeon yet. :thumbup: Deb

Welcome!!! I am not banded yet but find this site to be one of the best resources available on the net; I hope you do to. Thats pretty neat that both you and your wife got banded together. Aaah it's the ties that bind us together...or something like that. Anyways I think it's cool. :thumbup: Deb

DebNH replied to Bandster Gal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I read your "bandster Heaven" and WOW what a great job you did with it :thumbup: Thanks for sharing! I am very early in my process of being banded and really appreciate your open and honest approach to sharing your journey. Deb -
Do you need to get a passport to get surgery in Mexico?
DebNH replied to a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
We recently cruised and did not need a passport to enter or exit; Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Panama. To avoid any mishaps during your recovery time, I'd get a passport for sure. You'd hate to be stuck in Mexico just after having surgery. :thumbup: Deb -
My Ball is Officially Rolling!
DebNH replied to sistasassy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, congrats to you!!! You are on your way. I am in the very early stages of being a bandster and totally wish you luck. :biggrin2: Please keep us posted with your progress. Its exciting and inspiring to others. Deb -
I'd call your gyn's office and tell them about your insurance issues. They should give you a "sliding scale" fee or accomodate you somehow; perhaps even putting the bill off until your insurance is reinstated. The doctors office will work with you. They should anyways Good luck! Deb

Still waiting on my surgery date
DebNH replied to thughes113's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. Perhaps this extra time is needed for you to reflect upon your new way of life... or another option rather than surgery. :wink2: Deb -

Just a toddler taking the first baby steps
DebNH replied to sandibly's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome... I am new also to the lapband process and I think you will find this site a fantastic resource; I sure have! Good luck!!! :scared2: Deb -
hello!...new here!..but not newly banded!
DebNH replied to bandstergal's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Have you contacted the manufacturer? Maybe your doctors office could give you that information and you could persue it yourself before you get a lawyer involved. Lets face it, a lawyer is going to cost you money before he will do anything. :thumbup: There are also consumer guides and protection agencies that may help you. I'd definitly persue it; what have you got to lose? :scared2: Deb -
Becky- I read your post from this past Sunday (5/25) about the pictures and report from your surgeon. Please... you made me cry. It is so easy for us to beat ourselves up and be super critical of our own bodies. You must not do this! You have achieved a tremendous goal and should look at your progress as another hill you must climb, another problem you must solve... you can make this great also.
I feel for you and sympothize with you. You are beautiful, you are a woman!

Do you have a family history of hypertension? Both my parents have hypertension and at an early age (25 like yourself) I was put on bp meds. It's a serious thing, don't take it lightly. :frown:Watch it for a couple of months and if it doesn't go down then you should see your PCP. You may need a low dose. You could also try drinking more Water, reducing your sodium intake and exerising more. All good things to wash away excess salt in our bodies! Deb
