Hi Dixie, welcome to lapbandtalk forum. I have heard great success with getting rid of those ailments through banding. I wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Mine are $200 out of pocket. My insurance doesn't cover it. To date I have had 5 fills out of pocket in my 10cc band.

I was nervous as hell that a.m. I was glad to have it all over with afterwards though. You can do this. You will not regret it at all. Best of luck.

That was a great letter. Congrats on having the courage to stand up for yourself and to get bandecd. Good luck.

I too had to wait about 6 weeks. I wasn't too hungry though preop. As far as feeling full you may feel full with the swelling. It all depends upon your body.

Good luck with your consult . It is so exciting.

Silry, sorry this happened to you. I hope everything works out.

Hi Myrtle, I was banded in June and I'm down 40 lbs. I love my lapband. What types of questions do you have?

Hi Kara, welcome to lapbandtalk forum. You will find a ton of information here. Best of luck finding a surgeon.

Best of luck to you. I hope you can have the surgery. You will love being banded. Good luck.

correction 242.5 - 5.5 4.5 to go.

Julie Geraci's new numbers: 242.5 -6.5 3.5 to go. Thanks!

What a great birthday gift indeed! I am happy for you. You will love your lapband. Its given me a whole new life. Best of luck.

Yes, I can't believe I am being successful with this. It is life changing for me. I would replace my band for anything. I love it.

Sounds like you need a good fill. 4 cups is 4x the amount you should eat. Sometimes you can eat up to a cup. It may take you more than 1 fill to reach optimal fill level. I would do in for a fill and see. Good luck. The weight will continue to drop once you feel restriction. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep the faith.

It was a great show. His program looks like it is really good.

I can wait to have a TT and lipo. I know I will need it.

You are probably really swollen. I would sip as little as possible throughout the day. You will be fine.

Mine was roughly around $40k overnight visit. Sounds like you have a handle on it.

Hi Ginny, it will help when you go in for your 2nd fill. You are doing great. Keep the faith.

Sounds like you are really swollen. I would take it easy and sip sip sip. Make sure you eat regularly as much as you can. Sip away.

Sin, that is great that you are so supportive. I think it is wonderful. Don't be shy. You can ask any questions here.

Cheryl, if you don't hear back from them in a week I would call them again. Keep the faith okay. You are making a life changing decision for yourself. Don't let anyone get in the way of your success. I would continue to follow up with her frequently thereafter. Good luck.
