I totally agree with you, I do need to quit anyhow... But it is so hard at this time....hard to quit everything at once you know. I was always told one thing at a time. Uggh:cursing: so frusterating! As I sit here with a cig...

That is so cool! I have always wanted to sky dive, I will one day!!! Thank you for the inspiration! Debbie

That is so awesome...good for you, good luck with your surgery and keep us posted! I am scheduled for the 29th. and cannot wait! Debbie

Hello to all, I was told to quit smoking pre op 1 month before surgery. Well surgery is less than two weeks away (29th) and I have still yet to quit smoking! Anyone know why they want me to do this? Has anyone else smoked all the way up to surgery and if so, did everything go okay for you? It is so hard for me to quit in this stressful time...THANKS FOR READING, DEBBIE :frown: :mad: :ohmy: :lol: :confused2: :thumbup: :thumbup: :mad2: :thumbup: :confused:

No not all insurance carriers require 6 monthes. I have aetna epo and it only requires 3 monthes. However I did not loose my required 15 to 20 lbs before the 3 monthes were up so i chose to go another month until i reached it just incase! Went through everything and see my surgeon on monday for a last visit before my operation on july 29th. Cant wait....Finally here! WOOHOOOOO!!! Best of luck to you!

I am scheduled for the 29th. I feel the same way!! I see the surgeon on monday though, will talk with him about that!

Hello to all...I am new and from a suburb of chicago. I am going through the Kane center for my lap band surgery. Everyone is great there and very helpful. I finally went through all of my preliminaries from the sleep study to my upper GI..etc! :eek: Good grief! Well I have a surgery date set for July 29 th. I am looking forward to this journey as I have been heavy since yay high. I do not know what it feels like to be thin or shall I say a healthy weight. I feel as if it is not possible that I will loose the weight, being pessimistic about the lap band not working before I even get it. I dont want to be thinking this way but I cant help it since I have always been fat! I have to do something about it before it is too late. I am really excited but nervous for sure. Not sure if I am making the right decision now...lap band or bipass.... Lost! See my surgeon monday..Ill talk to him about this! Looking forward to a great new future with you all!:smile2::thumbup::ohmy::thumbup::redface:
