I don't know if insurance will cover it, I was a self pay on Lap band and also the lift and up coming implants. check with your insurance company and let the rest of us know the answer.. Good Luck
-
I had my lift done today, and all went well pain is at a very low level and a small bit of dicomfort is all .. now time to heal so I can move forward with the implants..
-
I have my date May 18 for the lift and June 8th for the silicone implants( silicone is as safe as saline)the skin on my brest is so thin that with the saline the ripples would be visiable and silicone does not ripple plus it is a more natural look ( I'm almost 50 ) and natural is what I want. I'm not wanting to look like a 25 years old just want the old girls to look like they are alive and well not sleeping on the job. hahaha!! I will try and keep you all posted and I will take pictures (clothed ofcourse ) wish me luck...

thank you so much.. I have been looseing so fast in the last few weeks I was a little worried but none of the things you discribe are happening. I guess I am just so tight and need to get an unfill in the near future.( another 15 Lbs or so ) I didn't know that the band could get tighter with time.:scared2:
-
can anyone tell me what a slipped band feels like? Thanks:blush:
-
Hi I was banded July 31 in Plano, Tx I have 6cc's in a 10 cc band, I am currently down 104 Lbs and feeling better then I have in 30 years.:thumbup:

Is it possible for the band to get tighter over time ? I had my last fill in Oct.09 and I have been feeling tighter then ever, is this possible ? Any help would be great. Thanks :sad:
