  2. Thanks you guys i feel so much better its not just me :ohmy: well yesterday i didnt get sick at all im all good.
  3. well i left my house on wednesday and it suck to be away when you have the lap band. I got sick everyday first in vancouver i had some soup with noodles in it well didnt go down, then in Hawaii got sick having eggs, now in Australia not eating much. Next time i leave my house the blander and protein shakes are coming with me and the lap top. I think i will be drinking all my calories. Could flying make your band tighter??? cause im still eating the same stuff that i use too.

Then he trows back in my face my $20000 surgery. I dont even want a credit card but no we have two now I want to save money is that selfish? I want to have a better life. I dont even want to go on holidays because it cost money Our priority are so different i dont know why we are together really. and to make it harder he move here from Australia, If i ever get divorce im switching teams. sorry for caring on im just piss off and crying

  22. Well in 2005 my doctor sent a request to Yukon Health for me to have the Lap-Band. It took Yukon Health about 1 year to get back to me and they wanted my BMI. So My doctor sent another request pointing out that I was at high risk for stroke and I was borderline diabetic and I needed the surgery for my health. Yukon health denied my application and said that Lap-band was cosmetic surgery and they don’t cover it. Next I went to my local MP who is also the Yukon’s opposition healthcare minister. He sent a letter to the Yukon Health Minister requesting financial assistance for my surgery. About 2 months later we received a refusal letter from the Minister. He basically said that Lap-Band was not a proven method of weight loss so they can’t support our request. I then contacted the Yukon Governments Ombudsman and filed a complaint. The ombudsman researched the lap-band and recommended that it be covered. The ombudsman meet with Healthcare last week and the director of Yukon Health called me personally to apologise and reimburse me $8200. She said since the surgery was done privately they could only offer me the amount the Government pays for the surgery and that Lap-Band was now covered in the Yukon. The ombudsman took about 8 months to do his job. So it’s a very slow process.
  23. well after fighting yukon healthcare for almost 2 years i won im so happy they are mailing me a check for $8200. Now the lap band is cover in the Yukon but they are going to send people to Alberta.
  24. I was just told by Yukon health care what ever is cover in Alberta is cover here too by Yukon health care, but they dont always know what is cover there. Thanks for the tip
