-

Hey!! Good to hear from you!!! The support group is the last Tuesday of every month! I am not certain of the time, I will let you know!! I am glad you like my blog, thanks for the kind words!!! Congrats on accomplishing your first goal!!! My first goal really is to just loose 50lbs! So I am only 15lbs from that. LIttle frustrated bc I lost restriction for so long but am sooo happy I finally have it back!! yay!!
-
It definetly it!! You will get there really soon and you'll be wondering why you were so upset!! =)
-
Don't worry betsty you will get restriction soon enough!! Take it from me, I went to fast with fills and got food stuck and had to have it all taken out and believe me you don't want that it was terrible!!! Slow and steady really does win the race in this case!! 6.5cc seems to be my magic number to really feel something, it is different for everyone but you will get there!!!! =)
-
Hey are you gonna go to the support group next month? I finally got a new job so that the hours dont conflict and I can make it for once! Would love to meet you!!!!

I know EXACTLY how you feel! After being banded for 8 months I feel like I should have lost more than 35lbs but I have to keep into consideration that it took me 4 months to get restriction and then at 5 months I had to have everything taken out and then it took me another 3 months to get back to restriction! So all in all I have not been restricted very much in the 8 months. I was feeling like it was another failed attempt at weightloss but trust me the second you get restriction you wont feel that way anymore!! Chin up!! =) www.ladylapband.com

Really all you have to do is exactly what the doctors say because they know what all the insurance companies want to see. Your doctors office should be submitting the papers for you, you shouldn't have to do anything! Your BMI really just has to be over 40 and I believe its like 5 years of weight history they look for also because they want to make sure this has been an ongoing problem and not like you just gained a bunch of weight. If you have any co morbitities like sleep apnea that just adds to the BMI and it pretty much seals the deal. My bmi was 41 and I have mild sleep apnea. I am certain it will all go through for you with no problems!!!

get out of town i just read you start a new job feb 1st! congrats, so do i!!!!

You sound just like me!!! I have Aetna as well and I had such an easy time, they covered me 100%. Well I have a $100.00 co pay but seeing the surg cost $15,000 that is not bad! lol. I openly admit I am a food addict and I could totally not get this eating thing under control on my own. I was up to 7cc back in oct and was on top of the world I was down almost 40lbs and then I got something tuck bc I didn't chew well enough and just today I had a fill that brought me back up to 6.5cc but I have not lost 1lb since bc I was I got upset and stopped exercising and yatta yatta lol you can just imagine. But honestly the band works!!!! When I had the proper restriction which I am close to again it really works in helping you control not only ur head hunger but your boredom hunger too lol check out my blog www.ladylapband.com
