seems fishy send me the check and I'll take care of it for you. LOL actually it happens - I've got money back before - never that much though - nice check to get this time of year

I for one am offended by this post. :scared2::thumbup:

I go for all those tests this friday and my surgery is on the 22nd. I did the psych eval early on - it was such a joke - just a insurance hoop to jump and make me spend out of my pocket first. (my insurance sucks fyi) I pay everything up to $2000. out of my pocket then they kick in and pay only $5000 towards my band - then i pay the rest ugh

ahahahaha I'm cracking up over that. Too funny

watch your sodium intake also - too much will cause you to retain Water. And Larry congrats on the band 2 days ago. ps. You can do it.

gotta be the sodium - look for low sodium broth - the weight will drop then.

you can can do it. Beacause I'm going to need your support starting my liquids next tuesday. This has got to be extra tough for us steak eating red meating loving men. Glad I have other men on here for support also.

Ii might have to try that with strawberries.

How's it going fellow 30 somethings? I can't wait to be banded in a couple of weeks. woohoo:thumbup:

I'm giving up Mt. Dew and with getting the band. I'm switching to coffee and just got a kuerig - it rocks. Ihave to have my caffeine in the morning to make it through a day at work. lol

I'm having my band done on Dec. 22nd by Dr. Schuster. I can't wait.

I'm getting excited. My pre-op is this Friday the 11th. How many days out did you all have to start your liquid diets?

Good luck to all today. I'm so excited my preop appointment is next friday I'm getting close. woohoo.

congrats to the all the post-ops. I wish you much success. You guys make me wish my surgery was sooner than Dec. 22. I'm so excited. I'm going to kick this weight for good.

OMG like fat people haven't had it hard enough. This ticks me off College's too-fat-to-graduate rule under fire - CNN.com How about a class for skinny people to put on weight or smokers to quit or alcoholics to stop drinking. Fat is the just the next target to pick on - they don't realize that we've been picked on and we have rage built up to fight back. Being overweight is one's on struggle - a college degree shouldn't be based on looks.

good luck to you all on your surgeries today. hope all is well and the weight comes flying off. I'm Scheduled for Dec. 22. So I'll be not to far behind.

I'm having my surgery on Dec. 22 with Dr. Schuster at St's Mary and Elizabeth. I'm excited - Merry Christmas to me. I hope to lose a Ho Ho Ho lot of pounds.

I'm also a Humana Employee. our coverage sucks as employees. I'm doing the band anyways. My health is to important. I'm hoping the insurance write off is huge. as my Dr.'s are in network. I'm going with Dr. Schuster at St's mary & Elizabeth. My pre-op deductible is roughly $2000. then I'll have to make payments on what is left over after surgery.

Dr. Schuster is my surgeon also. I'm scheduled for Dec. 22. I was told it's around $17k without insurance or out of network. I have insurance and was approved - however my policy only provides a $5000 max. I'll have to put $2000 down for my deductible and then I'm going to make payments on the rest. Hopefully the insurance write off is huge.

I voted Holiday Hotties. as a dude - i can't be a delight. - thats not cool :confused:

Whats up December 2009 bandsters? :ohmy: Add me to the list my Surgery is on December 22. ho ho ho - Merry Christmas to me.

I'm 33 - and I'll still be 33 next month when I get my band

the next poster is a real retard. I'm guaranteed the win now - no-one will wanna post. lol

Hi all, I'm Dusty from Mt. Washington, Kentucky - just outside of Louisville. I'm so excited to be getting my band on Dec. 22. :ohmy::thumbup: My Surgeon is Bryce Schuster. I can't wait to get the weight off and begin a healthier lifestyle. I have a goal to learn to play ice hockey in an adult league when the wieght comes off. Just something I've always wanted to do but never was able to. Now I have a chance. I hope to meet a lot of fellow bandsters and get advise and support. Pre-op Pic
