  3. Now Performed by 1 Incision in Belly Button Only. No Scar. See Pic www.MehtaBariatricCenter.com Hope this help..Note: the SILP can be done with either band.
  4. Hi My incision was just above my naval and the port is below my left breast. I haven't had and pain it's been over two weeks since my surgery. There is a bruise at the port sight and the incision near my naval is almost healed....in a few week there will be to signs of me having surgery.
  5. Hi I felt I could have return to work in two to three days, but I took to weeks. I was told not to lift anything over 20lbs.
  6. Hi All, Has anyone had the SILB if so please share your experience. I had this type of surgery on 07/16/10 and I had no pain after the surgery.
  7. Hello, do anyone have a example of the 6 month notes required by bcbs of nj my doctor just don't seem to get it...help
  8. Hello Some parts of Central and Northern New Jersey is very close to New York you can get to NY within 15-45min (if no traffic)by car,train or boat for those who would like to hang out in the city after the conference. I chose New Jersey
  9. Hi That why I'm not telling anyone when I have my surgery.......this is just a suggestion have your lapband surgery,but don't let your family member know you did it remember it's someday surgery so when the weight began to come off then he/she will think you are doing it alone,but if that family member live with you that may not work.:smile2:
  10. Hi I'm very happy for you and I said a prayer for you to help you through this journey.
  11. This is a response to Why Are People Voting For Obama......... I listened to a very popular radio station here in New Jersery and the DJ said Black people are only voting for Obama because he is black .......so I was thinking is it fair to say the White people that are not voting for him is becasue he's black? He didnot name himself and he can't help were he was born. GOD BLESS YOU
  12. Hi I have Horizon/BSCS Direct of New Jersey and they required a 6 month nutritionist visit November will be my last appt with the Kingley Institute I only lost 6lbs (on there scale anyway) I started at 224lb on 5/14/08 and as of 10/28/08 their scale read 218lbs,but when I went for my pre-opt appt I weight was 213lbs on 10/22 and I saw my obgyn on 10/23 weight in as 213.7lbs. My experience with Kingley has been one big sale pitch,but that just my experience when I reminded the nutritionist if possible to have my letter ready for the insurance company when I come in for my last appt she said I think you need to continue with me not once a month,but every 2 weeks so I ask her to give me a copy of my records of all the time she took my measurement etc.......ohhhhhhh she didn't keep a record or keep up with my measurement,but I made sure I said at each visit to say(boy I lost a lot of inches to see if she would take my measurements) anyway I said my PCP will have the last word. Sorry if I went on & on,but I needed to vent
  13. Hi Jessica Dr.Bertha will be doing my band early next year you are the 2nd person I read about lossing weight without a fill. Belinda
