I had a m/c last year in jul and prior to that at 19wks in 2001, I know what you going through, It's tough I know. But we have to pull ourselves through. My husband is in the army too. You are not alone, contact me anytime.

Yes, I was finally banded on 3-17, I felt nervous up until the very end. The surgeon and the staff were so nice to me, and I loved the hospital. So far I have lost 6lbs, I was hoping to lose more, but hey I feel like it is 6lbs gone forever.

Hey, Well as of last weekend I had my last meeting with the psychologist. Which made me very happy, I was so not happy to be awakened out of my sleep @ 9am by my lousy alarm clock reminging me that I have an appt. Why does it seem like it is taking forever, for this to be over with. I want to get the band and get on with a healthier lifestyle, I even had my PCP call me in a Rx for Chantix, so I can hopefully quit smoking by the time I have my surgery. I so hope they approve it, they shouln'nt deny me because I have a BMI of 42 and comorbidities. I am glad to see that everyone is on their way to becoming healthier, but it seems like it is going to take me a while to even get started. It is killing me every day that my phone does not ring. To add more on top of it, I have another insurance that is now primary which is ANTHEM, and my second is TRICARE. Can anyone explain to me why it is traking so long?

I am trying to set up my ticker can anyone tell ,e how?

Hey ladies, My name is Tameka and I am considering getting the lap band, a little bit about me I am 5'3 and I weigh 229 bmi is over 40. I have a history of miscarriages due to my weight, and I am wanting to know if this thing really works. I have tried every diet out there and so far non has worked for me. Another question is how soon can you start trying to concieve after you get banded?
