Your Dr. will only submit it to the ins. company once and The weight they recorded on your first visit is the one the ins. knows. If you lose after this that is great. I was the exact same I had a BMI of 40 (bairly) with no comortalities, but now Im at a 39. Good luck...

Oh well guess you can't use that one,.. lol And my surgery is scheduled in july.. So we will see if he notices... lol well good luck

I have told all that will listen other than my own father. Gosh that sounds bad. But its true, my mom let it slip once but he has never asked me about it or brought it up so when he wants to know i guess he will ask. As far as what you can say I am scheduled to have my Gall bladder out lap. The insicions are the same as the bands except the is one less. (only 3) It also has the same recovery time and hospital stay. 4-6 hrs. So if you are cofortable with that tell your kids as far as anyone else just say a "rutine procedure" Not a lie and not TMI lol good luck...

Holy crap, Im a profectionist!!! lol I can so see that in dieting. Do any of you do this? I am great all week, till lets say friday, then we go out to eat. So I say I am going to be good but my hubby orders a big juicy hamburger, and chips and dips and a coke. So then in my head I think well this meal won't hurt I done so good all week I can splurge. Then after I have gotten in the car and unbuttoned my jeans for the ride home, I'm pissed at myself. Mad that I blew it. Next day sat, I get up ok well I am going to be good today, then my kids say mom fix us some Breakfast. They want blue berry pancakes, sausage, eggs ect... So in my mide I think Hell I already blew it for the week so I'll start again Monday. So now the entire weekend I pig out.. wtf? Thats it... you solved it Im just a perfectionist.. If I can't do it perfect for the week I just give up all together.. (I wonder if next time my hubby grips about the laundry not being done if I can say "but honey Im a profectionist) lol

1st off the first dr. I talked to say no to me because I did not have a BMI of 40 (20lbs away). I said, but The only reason I weigh this is because I am at WW and I have the card to prove I have just lost this weight. He said NO! (Not because he was a jerk, it was the ins. rules) So 4 months later and 24 lbs heavier with a diff. ins company I qualified!!! I think it is crazy that I am overweight, and have been my whole life and I can prove it, but because i was on a diet and losing i could not have the surgery. I didn't think to put rocks in my shoes or I would have because now I have more weight to lose but I sure had FUN gaining it... There are going to rules in everyones lives, some rules are stupid, some we hate but they will always be there. I don't fault the ins company, they have to have a cut off and i am sure that they have done ect amounts of studies to find that point, but its up to us as individules to decide if we are going to follow those rules. I don't feel I cheated the system one bit. I had to have a BMI of 40 for the surgery and That is just what I had. (40.2)

Mine is only for one day.. I know it must be hard but just of all the rewards you be recieving soon. you can do it

I think our orginal disagreement was that I wanted stronger dealth penalties and you would like the guilty to get an education. I am not aware of any HUMANS being treated like animals unless they have acted like ANIMALS. And even then I don't know of any animals that have cages with tolets and sinks, along with a bed, three hot meals a day, ect ect I also agree in love compassion and forgiveness, but that is not to say that I think there punishment should not equal the crime. If someone killed someone in my family, yes I would have to forgive them. (so I could live with myself) But I would still want them to pay for it with their lives. This is a sore subject in my home but I am going to bring it up and ask for you to put your self in this position. A friends child was hurt in a way no child should ever be hurt. The man responsible was caught, confessed, and plead out for a lesser sentence by helping with another case that had nothing to do with the one he was guilty of. This man was let out of jail after 3 months, and put on probation for 3 years. This is just a small example of the problems in the system .. Let a child rapest out of jail? How many other children will this man harm. I am happy for all of you that have shared your opinion on this subject (even if you felt different than I ) Again this is a law THAT I WOULd PASS!

clo, You have done great.... I know how you feel about no one noticing.. I am 6'2 so if I lose 20 lbs. NO ONE NOTICES, but on the other hand if I gain 20 lbs. NO ONE NOTICES>>> lol but I won't be doing that anymore... only loss from now on... lol Good job keep it up.. they will soon be commeting on how awsome you look....

hubby's gone and the donuts were just staring at me yelling eat me eat me.. so I sent them packing. down the sink... boy do i feel better....

DAMMIT MAN (or woman) Yall Come cook at my house..... my specality is PB& J :0 my kids love it PLease..

roflao... more or less, My son has been aiming at cherrios (.) for over a year now. He potty trained at 22 months (I think just cause he wanted full access to it... lol ) and I think peanut is a great name... "SON, PUT YOUR PEANUT DOWN" doesn't have the same ring but its great for use in public... lol

6'2 and my goal is 199. In onederland lol

I couln't have said it better myself!!! oh wait I didn't lol :cool:

my dd calls it her boo-yah and her bottom is her bootee! I don't how we came up with it but it works.. lol

So my son is three, and he has been in the "holding on his penis stage" He whips it out all the time. Just to hold it.. It drives me crazy!!! I keep telling him " There is no we we moster, you can put it down, it will still be there when you go back for it" So just no outside he had it out again, and I said "SON , PUT YOUR PENIS DOWN" and he looks at him in this confused way(you know eyebrowns crooked) and says "MOM, its not my penis, its my wewe" lol I was taken back and just walked away.. We don't have a name for it persay, but I think I have eer called it a penis in front of him.. So to my question... Moms what did you call your sons penis? My friend calls her sons his wenis.

Tired old man, You make a very valid point.. Education for non violent prisoners would probley help in the long run. The problem I have with our system is that we house murderers, child sex offender, rapest, who have been found guilty (they were tried in a fair court), and we give them luxeries that our poverty law abiding citizens can't afford. And I PAY FOR IT! Then They give them an education that I can't afford and say they are reabilitated so they can go rape someone else. Like you said it cost the us millions to house people, who I believe, don't deserve a second chance.. Again I say it , eye for eye.. Again this is just my 2 cents

Hey Dody, I am on 100 mg a day and I fell ok. I do see that I am a little tired but at least I am getting up and not crying ALL the time. I am new to this and have never needed meds. before. This is the first time I have talked about it to anyone other than my Dr. I had no idea that so many people were needed help in the medication form. It is good to know that I am not the only people in the world needing this. I only wish I had done something sooner about it. I suffered 2 months, before I went to my dr. because I was imbarrased to tell someone that I was not supermom and I just could not hold it all together. At 1st I was put on Lexapro but after taking that 1 month I had to stop it. I was have sevear HOT flashes like every 20 mins. So I went on zoloft, and it seemed to work for me until I got out of school for the summer. Then those feelings came back. I get so aggervated and want to say to myself "JUST SNAP OUT OF IT" but I can't. I think I will call the dr. again and see if we can try something new. Thanks for all the advise.. I love LTB

I said I was going to good today.. Got up did my exercise(30 mins on cross trainer) drank 2 btls of water before my coffee, Then I came in her to get on the puter and my DH (not so D today) went to store and brought home DONUTS for breakfast.. UGGGHHHH Dang the whole house smells like yummy, warm, donuts.. All three of my kids are eating them and my DH warmed up four. I have held out so far but I don't know how much longer they will be here.. I think I am going to tell him if he doesnt take them to work I am putting them in the garbage disposal....

Ohh boy I can't wait.. I swear when you are looking forward to something Time GOES SOOOOOO SLOWWWWW! lol

Hey everyone, I did go back to my doc and we upped my meds. I now take one pill twice a day. We think it just has to do with all the time I have had on my hands and the dramatic change in my schedule... I am feeling much better now and hope these meds keep working.. Thanks for all the support..

Guess what I have Gall Stone... dangit!!!!! I am going to have surgery on june 30th and then lap band on July 25.. The mistery pain has been answered.....

I had bcbs in dec when I first checked into the band and it was writen out of my policy too the only way you can get it covered (unless you change jobs) is fight with Hr. One man who worked with my hubby and had it written out of his policy, gave countless reports, dr nots, ectectect. This man has had three heart attacks and one bypass. They paid for all thoses surgeries but would not pay for him to have the lap band... After a year of fighting during open enrollment the Company changed the policy.. It was a long fight but he got the surgery... good luck,,,

Ok maybe I got things mixed up but at my appointment today I was told to stay away from steriods because it can cause tissue damage and can lead to the band eroding into your stomach. This was from my Band Dr.. Maybe i missunderstood but check with your Band Dr. Good luck He did say shot were fine cause they stayed in one area and that inhailers were fine because it stayed in your lungs but to stay away from the injested kind..

YEAHHHHH Im not alone... And you have a 9 year old... I can't wait till mine are old enough to fix their own drinks, go potty, clean up after them selves, ect... But then I know I will be like awww I miss them when they were little... You have done awsome with your band.. Your starting weight was close to mine.. I feel like it is going to take forever for me to lose 100 lbs.. But I am ready to get started... Band date July 25th Nice to meet cha...

Hello out there... Calling all tennesseens... Just checking.. lol
