  1. *Thanks for being a friend*

    I'm just getting started at all of this. I called Friday to see if my ins. will cover lapband and they said YES. So, it has to be predetermined by a Dr. It will not cover if it's for cosmetic reasons. God above knows it's not for cosmetic reason (yes, I would like to feel better about myself) But, I really need help. I need to lose this weight... It's getting hard for me to even work at my job. So, we are in the same boat. (just getting started) Keep in touch

  2. Thanks for being my friend on here. How are you doing with the band? I've not had it done, but thinking on it. Once i learn how to use this site I will be doing good. haha

    Take Care,

  3. Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I did, but I had to stop myself from eating... I just can't get enough right now. I can't wait to get my first fill and see if they are a change.

     

    Hope all is going good for you.

  4. Everything is going good. I had my first fill on Dec 10th and going for my 2nd one on Jan 12th. I'm ready for it!! one time I ate and I don't know if I got something stuck or if I over eat, but I got this sore feel in my chest area and kind of felt like I had this big bruise on my chest. It lasted for about 5 days. So, I thought if it was something stuck it should have went down by now. I thought maybe I had stretched my pouch. I did kind of get scared, but I wouldn't let on to my hubby.

     

    Did you have a good Christmas?

  5. Glad you had a great Christmas. things are going good for me. I have started walking!!! lol I need to do much more. I come in from work so tired and I have to make myself walk. -(I know thats not good) I really need to work on this upper arm flab.

  6. Good to hear from you. You look great!

    My surgery went good and I'm getting adjusted to the new life I have. Sometimes I still can't believe I have the band. lol It is working for me! I have lost 34lbs and so excited about it. I really need to do major exercise... I got to get this flab off of me. I'm only walking for now. I need to start adding some pic's. lol I go for my 3rd fill on Feb 16 and I'm ready for it. The fill's are not bad at all and I was all scared for nothing. lol

  13. I'm donig good, but have been a little sick not sure if it was something to do with the band or just a bug. I've been much better this week. *Thank God* I've not yet been on the scales since surgery and I'm still goin to try to hold off until I go see my Dr. on Dec. 10th. *Fingers Crossed for a good weigh in. :o) I pray it's a good one. Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I did & was blessed another year with my family. I'm so ready for my first fill & I need it now. haha Sometimes I can't get enough to eat. So, I have to stop myself.
