Does anyone else hate this website redesign and think it's hard to use? Or, is it just me?!

Glad you're back and getting a handle on the mental aspect. It is true that much comes to the surface that has to be dealt with...all the stuff that was buried beneath the layers of fat. May I suggest talking to a professional therapist? It would probably be very helpful if you're not doing so already. Keep us posted on your status :rolleyes2: -

Getting banded in NYC on Monday, February 1st
REALIZEinCT replied to LapNYC's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congratulations on beginning your journey! -
I hope I do as great as you have with the Realize band. I am two weeks post op and have lost 16 pounds (about a pound a day). It is so inspiring to see your photos!

Never needed it. Fills have never hurt for me. -
When is "serious" exercise permitted?
REALIZEinCT replied to critterlady's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Hi Sara, My doctor said to do whatever I could tolerate as soon as I could tolerate it. There was no specific time frame. However, every surgeon is a little different and yours may have a more specific guideline. I started with walking the day I came home. Running wasn't comfortable for a couple weeks. Good luck in your journey! -

You shouldn't have a problem getting approval with a 40+ BMI. Those who are 35-40 BMI usually need to have a co-morbidity. I was 42 BMI with no co-morbidities and got approved easily by Anthem BCBS. Good luck to you!
