my doctors office stopped using the realize band because they have not seen as good weight loss results as with the lap band.

Stacy, I'm from Georgis, Locust Grove. I just had my surgery on the 5th of Jan. by Dr Titus Duncan Peachtree Surgical at Atlanta Medical Center. Who and where is yours

I'M 10 days out, and just had my Dr.'s appt. today. She said theres not much protien you can get on full fluids, You will start on protien meals about 12-14 days out. I start tomorrow. Cottage cheese, tuna , she said I could make a pot of chili this weekend. just remember to chew well.

If your willing to make such a severe change in your life by having this surgery, Its less effort to get to the Dr. and get the pills to help you stop smoking. Plus smoking will make you heal slower. Your stradigy for having surgery to save your body and future health conditions and continue smoking makes no sence at all.

I have Cigna, they took 5 weks to get approval after everything is submitted by your surgeon.

At 3 days post op I was back in the hospital with severe dehydration, my issue was swelling aroung the band and stomach., and not being able to drink. I felt like crap. Im at day 8 feeling better every day. just remember to sip, sip, sip

I had Surgery on the 5th of Jan. is it usual of your nose to run when your pouch is full?

hang in there, I had 2 hospilizations after surgery from dehydration because of swelling around my band, I couldn't swallow my own saliva. Now of full fliuds have lost 15 lbs since the 5th of Jan.

I feel you, I'm banded for 8 days, in the soup phase now and very ready to get to something else, hang in there, you will feel better every day. When they say sip, sip sip, they mean it

Yes, If you are severely overweight most likley your liver is fatty. I was just banded Jan. 5th, and my surgeon told me she couldn't tell one lobe from another, and it felt like cheese cake.

I have hypertension and GRDS

I just submitted all my paperwork to the physician. I have cigna insurance, my BMI is 37 with 2 comorbities, I'm wondering how long it takes for insurance to approve surgery, and are fill ins covered.

Does everyone go through a vigerous work up pror to this surgery? and how long from start to finish meaning surgery date does this take?

I have been through all the testing and have given it to my surgeon. I have cigna, of which it covers bariatric surgery. how long will it take for insurance to give pre authorization?
