:thumbup: Congrats on the 50 pounds. I had my surgery July 14th 2009. My highest weight was 275 and i'm now at 207. Keep up the good work.

I'm not regrettin the weight lost, just thinking it should we going faster. I'm at a stand still and have been for 2 weeks.

I was banded on July 14th. I have lost only 32 pounds since one week before surgery. I'm scared that I made the wrong choice and should have had gastric bypass. I eat right and excercise. I go for another fill on Sept 9th. Anyone have any suggestions.:blushing:

:ohmy: Hey everyone! I was banded on July 14th and go for my first fill on August 18th. I feel like my weight loss is going very slow. I would like to hear back from anyone who was banded around the same time. Thanks

So I posted on this the other day and i've now been to the doctor. He said that the easy mac I ate was stuck and that it would digest in 24 to 48 hours. He said that I was real swollen and irratated and in my esophagus area. He also told me to never eat pasta fixed in the microwave. That was a big no no. So i'm feeling better today and will be back to normal in a couple of days.:thumbup:

Hey there! I was banded on July 14th. Had a few complication so was in the hospital for a few days! The thought of broth just made me gag for I was living off sugar free popsicles. My dietician said in days 7 and 8 I could start with mashed potatos and mac and cheese as long as in was finely chopped up. Well I have an appointment with my doctor at 10am in the morning because I feel like i have something stuck in my throat. Should have waited to start those foods.:thumbup:

I have called my insurance company and they pay eighty percent. I would just like to know their approval ratio.

Guess i'm not sure what cigna insurance I have, I just know that I live in Arkansas and I have it. My BMI is 42. With no real health problems. Lots of diabetes in my family tho so that is a big concern. I have been overweight since the first grade so my weight will be no issue it's having no real medical problems.:smile:

I am awaiting approval from my insurance company. Does anyone know much about Cigna Health Care Insurance.
