Because I am self pay and it is $7k cheaper to go to MI and the doc is great there...

ohhh and I am too going to MI through Belite--- July 16th

I like Freedom Fighters but no month in there.... people get confused on this site.... like I said let me know what wins and I can change the glitter text... Thanks!!

Opps I was on another thread and made the tag and everything--- so please let me know if the name turns out to be something different!! Thanks!

OK I made a new glitter name July Jewels 2009 here is the code to copy and paste into your signature like I explained before.... let me know what you guys think!! Thanks

Awesome Kelli!!! you go girl!

I am in Frederick as well...but I am flying to Michigan to have mine done on July 16th- I would love to get together with anyone in the area after 5pm M-Th.... I live in Harpers Ferry so I have a 30 min drive into Frederick (but I work in Frederick) Let me know and good luck to you all.

I am putting everyone's dates on my calendar so I can make sure to get in touch with you before you go in for your procedure.... I am so excited for everyone and ME too!!!

I picked the lapband because it is less drastic then the by-pass and more effective- with the by-pass you can stretch out your new pouch and then gain all your weight back. I have a friend who did this. The lapband if you get to a stand still you get a fill and you can jump start your losing again. I have spend months on the boards before deciding to do this- when I finally decided I had my surgery date in a week for July 16th.... you also don't get the "dumping" effect with the lapband- with both you need to eat slow and chew well and not drink with your meals. Good Luck and call on me any time!!

when you right click you want to copy URL (that is the code that goes in your signature box)

OK to get the tag in your signature you right click on it and copy then go to your user CP (top of page on the left) then go down the left side and click on signature- then edit signature, then paste into signature- if that doesn't work then let me know. I will be happy to make any changes anyone wants- if you want the year it is no problem to add it.... actually that is a great ideal!! I am so honored to meet all of you guys and happy we will be going through this together- maybe Alex (the dude that runs this site) will give us our own place to talk.... I will email him. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Great Luck!

Sammy- I am here if you ever need to talk!! Email me Evie@mycvl.com I am on email allllll day long. Don't do something that is a permanent solution to a temporary problem!! Ok? Ok! Hugs and Love

Carol- That is my date too! I can tell you I don't have one second of second thoughts. I am excited and if I could do it sooner I would. Good luck to you!

I'm in! July 16th here!! I can try and play around and make a tag for us... Evie

Hi Sammy-Jo- Just wanted to say hang in there, girlie! I will be there to support you as you take your journey--- and you can support me in mine!! You have a new family now and we will all support you!! Hugs and Love, Evie

Wait for your insurance EOB (Explanation of Benefits) comes in... look to see what the patient responsibility says- it will most likely say NOT PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY at that point if you doctor is a participating provider you will not be obligated to pay (no matter what you signed) I know this because I run a huge medical practice and we have this happen occasionally.
