mellen3159 replied to HAGS2121's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Banded 7/2010. Lost 60 first year. Gained 40. Lost 28 of that. Refuse to weigh myself at home. Only on Dr. scales. I too am slow loser. Very frustrating. I workout 4 + times a week normally. -

Brenda I was desperate for guidance. Found this gal on YouTube ...began duplicating her meal prep and following it to a tee. It has helped me. Along with all her other videos. Give her a try. -

Does anyone have any suggestions for snacks for a Super Bowl party? I have succumbed to the fact that I will be having some red wine. Looking for some suitable snacks so I don't blow up the next day. Celery and broccoli get stuck in my band. Will probably have some yummy hummus. Obviously we can't have pizza. Any suggestions??

My initial LB surgery, was covered. Left the job I was at, new insurance has.... NO Bariatric coverage. Haven't been to my Dr. In 2 yrs. Gained 30 outta the 50 I lost! That said, no insurance, I was told the follow- up visits would be $150 (no fill) $250 with fill. Is this normal? (In the US. Virginia)
