The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind and motivation you have to convince. You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Let that person who is inside come out and see the world. Take it one day at a time. Happy Holidays. PS: Update me on your progress

Hello, I was banded Friday Aug. 7th in Champaign IL. Everything went fine with surgery. I did pass out that night... I think my blood pressure bottomed out. I feel better everyday tho. Not too much soreness, am having some gas pains. I start my full liquid diet tomorrow and am ready. I feel hungry. I have been on clear liquids since surgery. I would love to be an August bander. How do I join? -
Preop diet is going pretty good. It's easier than I thought it would be. How are you doing? I am so excited. I have lost about 7pounds on this preop diet. I think I have everything done required now....just waiting on the day

How are you doing with pre-op diet. What else did you "have" to do?
I'm just a few days ahead of you.

Hi Erica, Yes I am having surgery at provena in Champaign. Don't know the time yet. I saw in the newspaper that the new surgery center is going to be opening soon. Don't know if they will schedule surgeries there anytime soon or just taking appt??? I am so excited. When is your preop appt. Mine is July 15, not sure what flavor of protein suppl. I want yet!! Look forward to hearing from you. Thinthin -
Was anyone banded at a weight of 200lbs or less?
thinthin replied to 31andnew's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My insurance was BCBS of Illinois. It does feel at times that you jumping through hoops but it will be worth it in the end. Good luck!!! -
It was a PPO. do you have BCBS insurance? If so, do you have any idea what the out of pocket expense will be? I am so excited.

Hang in there! I have BCBS of ILLinois insurance. It took about 7-8 months to get approved. I had to follow a 6month monitored diet. I weighed 211 at start of diet, am 5'2". I wasn't quite 40 BMI and have no significant health issues. I too have tried many diets. My surgery date is 8/7. I just received my acceptance letter last week and am so excited. I was discouraged when I was told the only way I could get approved was to "jump through the insurance hoops" but that was last November. If I had not started then, I would still be wishing I could get approved. So hang in there, just do what they tell you to do and it will happen!!!! Look forward to hearing from you.
