Hey Happy Belated birthday Mine is also the 29th of April but I was banded 1 day b4 on the 28th it is a great present to ourselves huh. Well hey best of luck.

Hello and welcome I am also in PA but I am still in the process good luck...

Hello I am also in York but I am seeing Dr. Garber good luck in your journey I am still in the process as well maybe we will cross pathes somewhere along the way.

Both are to be really good for fills I do not know I am seeing Dr.Garber for my surgery.

I am not yet banded but I am in the process the 2 Dr.s in York are Dr Monk and Garber their both located at Apple Hill real close to the York Hosp. I will give you more info if needed.

I am not banded Yet I am doing the 6mnth thing it really is not that bad for me it is not really a diet as much as keeping track of what u eat. I thing the worst part of the whole thing is just waiting the 6 mnts for something we want so bad. Good luck and keep your head up it will go by faster than you think.:drool:

My C-pap is 2 come Fri Oct 2nd so we will see if I can get used to it.

Congrats on the approval.

I have not yet been banded and don't know what ''short term'' goals I will set for myself but my main goal is to be healthy and see my little girl grow up and be able to be there to guide her through the good and bad.

I just had my test and failled it so I guess I do have,

I am in York but not yet banded.

They alos say you can get papya "sp" enzymes they are to work really good.

I would like to know this as well and what your stipulations were how many months of classes and so on were you required to do,

I have highmarkblueshield/ppo blue any body knoy what they want?

Stacy1980 thank you for the info.:mad:

Can anyone explain what the egd is? thank you.

Sorry for a dumb question but what is egd and what do they do to you that they put you to sleep?

What is your BMI at now and do you have any co-morbity's s

I had thought about that as well but I was told that even though I am doing a 6 month program that if I don't lose any weight its ok because like the instructor said if it were just that easy I would not be there. Losing is not the hard part it is keeping it off and that is why I am looking for help. Good luck with your ins.

I called my Insurance company and asked them what the requirments were I have Highmark Blueshield. They were able to e-mail the requirments to me.

My goal is to have more energy and be able to keep up with my beautifull 6yr. old daughter and be able to play and do things with her. And also to just be healthy overall and maybe someday wear a size 34 jean.:confused:
