Band-It-Damn-It

My next fill is 11/24 I hope it makes a difference! What do you eat on a typical day?

I had my surger 9/23/09 I had my first fill on 10/27.. 4cc I also feel hungry all the time! I have lost 20lbs since I was banded but that weight loss happened during the 2wks after surgery. Needless to say that I am sad I don't know what to do to get this band to work

Congrats on you 30lbs in 30days thats GREAT! I had my surgery on 9/23 and one of my favorite mushie food is a Tuna melt... yummy

Sept 23 surgeru date YAY!!!

Best of luck in your approval

Chellz, I see you are in NYC... who is your surgeon?

Congrats Amy! I'm also waiting for my surgery date! I feel like a kid waiting to open Christmas presents...

My surgeon's office faxed BCBS (NY) my paperwork... I recieved a "pre approval" in 1 day. Now I wish getting an appointment with my surgeon was that fast (9-8-09) Anywhooo, Amy you will get approved.. positive thoughts bring positive results!

Yes, BCBS will then send your surgeon a pre approval letter which means you really "approved". With that letter the surgeon can get his money if the insurance company decides try and not pay him.... but thats another story. BCBS easy approval... Yay

Girls I can not wait to be where I want to be... I have lined up all my skinny jeans! I can not wait to fit back into my clothes... I am sick of wearing dresses! The only bad thing about this is that I find myself eating more lately b/c I have I am going to have the lap band :w00t:

BCBS won't deny you and the surgeon is in it to make money as well... I am sure we all have lost weight and then regain it... Just think b/c you don't want to start the process all over again in a few years! Nip this problem in the bud! Congrats on your weight loss... the Band is a tool to help you lose the weight and KEEP IT OFF Band-it-Damn-it

Welcome! I'm just starting too! I hope to get banded in Sept. I just want to know how much weight I can lose by 10/31... I need a mental note to self Anyways Good Luck!

Hi All: I am 32 and my fiancee is not 100% supportive... he says he loves me the way I am... that I'm thich not fat and that I really don't need it. I think a lot of it is fear that I might become another person once the weight starts coming off. Truth be told... I love him and I will never stray Good luck to all. I have my final appointmeny with the surgeon 9-8-09 ... I hope getting my lap band soon! yay!

Yeah I'm doing it! Start 187 height 5 6

I did everything psych, nutrition etc... I think I have to do I 2 week Optifast diet but I hope its soon! I want to have a super New Years....
