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!

congrats and i am happy for u and ur success..do u have any problems with vomiting, etc?? how much have u lost??

wow....i am soo happy for u and ur husband..that is great news. the vertical sleeve gasterectomy (VSG) is where they remove over 50% of the stomach itself. alot of people call it the "sleeve". when they remove the stomach, they also remove the hunger harmone as well. alot of people that i know have had excellent results with it and it is really what i have been looking into. the only thing that i dont like is that it is not reversible, once ur tummy is gone it is gone....kinda scary! so, how are the fills?? do they hurt?

wow...ur pics are amazing! u should be so proud of urself! i am too thinking about the band and was wondering if u have any regrets and have u been sick at all with the band? have u had to have other cosmetic surgery to have access skin removed?

how are u??? it seems that u have already have ur surgery? please tell me how u feel and how much u have lost?

WOW!!! Yay!! I am sooo happy for u!!! I have the Cigna Open Access plan..Is that what u have?? I called them today and they tld me that my policy didnt show whether or not WLS was approved or not and that I wld have to get my Dr to call in and get a pre-determinatiom of medical necessities and once the Dr gets that back to them then they can go from there...I don't even know where to begin..Not sure what Dr. that I want to go to..I want a good one and one that is going to take time and not rush when it comes to me and all my questions! Can you please take the time to tell me what the 6 mnth period is about and what if u loose weight in that time frame? Does that mean u cant have the surgery then?? SOOOO happy for u!!!

Hey there girlie!! I called cigna today and they told me that my policy didnt state whether i was covered or not and to have whatever dr that i decide to go to, to call them and they will have the dr to do a pre-determination of benefits and go from there..i dont even know what dr i want to use..researching now...

Hmmm..i have heard alot of people say that u must chew chew chew..anything that u cant eat that gets stuck? Also, have u ever had a prob with vomiting or being nauseated?

So u do think that this all comes from u not eating and chewing slowly? That is what scares me the most..i cant be sick all the time vomiting and all that crap!! What is pbing?

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?)

girl how much have u lost?? u lookin good! u go girl!

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.

thanks for the information that u posted where i was asking questions about BCBS os SC. i wish you the best luck!

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.

Hey there..How are u feeling?? How did ur surgery go??? Thinking about having the lapband.
