Hi taraBell, We are going to be lapband sisters......my surgery is on the 16th as well in Mexico. I start my diet on Friday as well, I have learned that if you add Protein to the liguids, you will have the sensation of being full and it has a lasting effect. It has helped me in the past. I also just try to stay busy during the day. Good Luck

Please put me down for "maybe"

Please put me down for a maybe, sound great but depends on job and finances:cool:

I am a self-pay and I have the same concerns. My surgery will be performed in Mexico; therefore, I am having to have my fills here in the States. I can go back to Mexico for the fills, but I have decided to use Fill USA. I have an appointment on Saturday to check out the facility and talk to the doctor. Hopefully this will ease my fears and I can make that call to the surgeon asking to be put on the calendar

I understand how you feel, regarding your husband. My husband stop drinking Coke and eating junk food and lost 60lbs. If I were you, I would try to find out as much as you can about the approval process from your husbands insurance company. Some companies require that you have attempted to lose weight through a supervised weight loss program from three to six months, and some companies require that you have a psyc. exam and other tedious procedures before you are approved for surgery. Good Luck.....you are one of the lucky ones. I have to self pay and I am about to go crazy in trying to find the money
