I had my surgery just about 2 months ago. I am doing well so far. I've had only 1 fill. I go for another one later this month. I wouldn't listen to everyone on here, every person is different. I have heard of complications, but that 1 out of how many? Just keep you head up and go for it if that is what you want.

I had my first fill. Was also nervous. To tell you the truth it wasn't bad just a little pain and pressure

Well yesterday my paper work was sent to the insuracne company for approval. I weighed in at the dieticians and lost 5#. Its a start. The physc consult wasnt what I thought it would be. Not bad at all.

Hello! I am 32 and have had my psyc consult and now I am going for my 2 week dietician consult tomorrow to see if I have lost anything on the 1400 calorie diet they put me on.. I am 244 pounds and 5'2. I am hoping to get to 150 or less.

My Dr sent me for the psyc and dietician eval. I also think my insurance requires it.

I have not yet had the surgery. But I have went through the psyc. consult and now doing the dietician consult. I guess I am just waiting on the evals to go back to my Dr. and then be sent to the Ins. company. I hope I get approved.
