hello devastated in NY, I can only imagine what you are going thru, my ins. req. 3 years history which I didnt have but as chellt mentioned I did write a lengthy letter along with dated pics which helped me. talk to your doctor and see about appealing the decision its never set in stone. wishing you the best of luck... vinny

Hello Mia, I am 27 years old and was banded on 7-29-09 so its going to be 3 weeks on wednesday. I have been feeling great. I was in a little pain and discomfort the 1st week but bounced back pretty quickly. I dont feel the restriction yet get my 1st fill on 8-26-09 and am looking foward to it. I do get hungry pretty often but stick to low carb high protein diet. I do need to eat foods which are high in fiber. I do tell close friends and everyone in my family knows what I had done. I have lost 15 lbs so far post op. my goal is to try and loose 15-20 lbs a month. I do work out 5-7 days a week at least 30 min on the elliptical. well keep in touch and let me know if you should have any additional questions.
