  1. Thanks for the reply! That is what scares me the most is the puking. Not sure that I can deal with that...I didn't even know that you could still have sweets.

  2. Thanks for the reply. Any sickness?

  3. thanks for the reply. no i havent made my final decision yet. i tried to get a loan a few months ago for another procedure but didnt have any luck because i dont have much credit and the credit that i do have is not all that good. even tried with my bff and hubby as a co-signer and no luck so i just gave up. i started a new job a mnth ago and will have cigna health ins in 2 more mnths and i am going to try and see if that will cover it. are u ever sick (vomiting?)

  4. thanks for the reply..good luck 2 u

  5. thanks for the reply..is there anything that makes u vomit or makes u want to vomit? that is what scares me the most besides slippage or erosion..

  6. Thanks for the request. Let's keep in touch!

  7. thanks for the response....wow! u are doing good! i am scared because i am scared of always being sick! i have known others to have the procedure done and they are alwasy throwing up or sick and i cant deal with that! good that u are not one of them! if u are down to 285 from 316 then u are doing good!

  8. thanks for ur comment on my purple page...lol...i love purple. i havent gotten far at all. i am just researching right now. not sure that i am going to be able to afford it because i dont have insurance, dont think i can get a loan because i dont have any credit which is just like having no credit and i sure cant pay cash....i have been heavy since having my 1st baby in 1996 and since then i have just blown up, had 2 more kids and i love to eat. junk the most! i looked into the lapband about 1 yr ago and didnt do it because my husband was so against it so i didnt pursue it anymore and now i back into lookin at it again. i am a sista too but couldnt get my pic to load. ur pic drew me to you. u are so pretty! any info you have would be helpful..thanks for ur replies

  9. thanks for ur relpy! u have done well! good for u! i am thinking that i am wanting the band because it is reversible. i am just scared because of erosion, slippage or vomiting. have u had to change your way of eating?

  10. thanks for ur rely.i do have questions about the band as i am leaning more towards rny because of the fact that i have heard soo much about the band that scares me..it seems like everyone gets a revison to another surgery with the band...is that normal? i am sooo scared of things getting stuck all the time and i am terrified of vomiting and PB-ing all the time...HELP..any advice?

  11. Thanks for ur reply referencing the insurance. I will let u know what I find out...I have coverage as of 11/14 so I am going to see what they say....

  12. thanks for ur reply! i was thinking about the band and then my attention turned more towards the vertical sleeve procedure but being that it is not reversible, i am not so sure that i want it...i am again thinking about the band and just getting all the info i can on it right now...

  13. thanks for ur reply. i am scared of always vomiting. i cant deal with that. i have care credit and they wont give me an increase. i dont have insurance yet and i will in july but i am going to be on a new policy so i am not sure they are gonna even think about covering it. i dont have credit which is the same as having no credit so not so sure that i can get a loan either.

  14. thanks for ur response. i am scared but i have been thinking about this long enough. no sure how i am going to pay because i wont have ins til 8/1 and i dont have any credit which is like bad credit to be financed. wishing to get the procedure soon. what is pb?i have saw that alot and didnt know what that stands for.

  15. thanks for ur response. YES i am looking into lapband and i am really scared. looked into it last yr and never moved forward and now here i am again looking into it. i am scared for 2 reasons, well 3. i am scared to be put asleep, scared and dont want to be vomiting all the time and also scared for long term. other than that i think i am all good. i dont know for sure yet how i am going to pay for the procedure because i just started a new job and ins dont kick in til 8-01 but that doesnt meant that they are going to cover me. i dont have good credit and i barely have any credit so i am not sure that i can be financed either. any ideas?

  16. thanks so much for answering all my questions. u are the best. i have heard the term self pay. what exactly does that mean?

  17. thanks so much for ur reply. i have lots of questions. i have care credit and they are not giving me a big enough credit increase for the surgery and i dont have insurance right now but i will next month and with me being new to the policy i am not sure that they are going to cover it. i dont think that i am going to be able to get a loan because i dont have good credit. well i dont have any credit is the problem. i am scared of always vomiting and that is really the only thing that i am scared of.

  18. thanks so much for your reply! i am scared of always vomiting. dont have insurance right now but i will next month and scared they arent going to cover it being that it is a new plan. then i dont have good credit whcich is like having no credit at all, so i may not be able to get a loan...not sure what i want to do.

  19. thanks so much for your support. my email address is lilmamalora78@yahoo.com. talk to u soon

  20. Thanks sooo much for ur prayers. I feel if God see it fit, It will happen and if not it won't..no matter how much I want it to! How are u???

  21. Thanks! Glad u are doing well!
