  1. Hi Renee...happy to hear you are done...l had no problem with Bay State..l thought they were great...l do HATE the ER at Bay State though....Hoping that all is well and things are healing good for you...stay in touch.... Lisa
  2. Congrats to you..it will all happen before you know it...Renee, l would love to meet..l live in the Plain Street area...there is so much to share with this journey..never be afraid to ask...the only stupid question is the one you don't ask...Congrats and hold on..its a great ride begining for you..Me, lm down 75 lbs in this year....lve had my issues, but ....l will always say, my band is like a 2 yr old...you never know when it will act up....lol... Lisa
  3. when can you change insurance plans?
  4. Hi Renee and Congrats on getting this far..its a big step, but so worth it. l too am in Easthampton... Lisa
  5. you have no controll over the mechanical issues that you have had...don't beat yourself up..its a great tool when it works like it should..Until then, smile and know you are on the right road..
  6. l am definately more emotional.. Not sure it has any thing to do with burning fat...
  7. perhaps you should call and ask if your plan covers the procedure..If they don't cover it, you'll never get approved. l was denied the first time around, but only bec by Insurance info wasn't complete..a totally different senerio than your
  8. T Campbell...sounds like you never really had the right restriction from the begining. l read your story .. sounds like maybe you are on the right road now...good luck...
  9. l can't ever eat chicken, no matter what l do to it..
  10. l too, am cold all the time...right down to my core..actually have to sleep with a heated blanket still and its summer...
  11. l would think the first thing you should do is call your doctor..perhaps he needs to remove some of your fill...
  12. lm just back from a cruise and had a lot of trouble with the foods...l literally kept nothing down for an entire week except water...Be VERY aware of chewing and small bites. Foods tend to be more rubbery than normal, ie: shrimp, lobster, steaks....have a great time
  13. have you challenged this charge ? Sounds awful high...l met with my surgeon on Monday about my fee for $100 and he agrees its outragious, so if the insurance won't come down then we will settle on a fair price...don't be afraid to speak to the Doc
  14. l have Federal B/C B/S Basic and my doctor bills it as a surgical procedure which makes my co-pay 100.00..trying to get this changed. Verse's an office visit for $30.00
  15. Can't stand the new group...feel like lm at a weight watchers meeting instead of lap band support group....some of the information is very questionable.
