Thus far, how r u guys doing? I had my surgery April 12 and have lost )56 lbs.

Everyone seems to be doing great. Keep up the good work. I am so ready for me 2nd fill , which is Tuesday. I feel like i have no restriction at all. The only problem is if I eat to fast but other then that, i can eat anything. I was hopeng to lose a little faster after my first fill but it seems to be a little harder and i have no idea why, but as long as the numbers are going down instead of up, I am fine.

I also have Cigna and even though it said they had to be consecutive, I went 4 months missed 2 and then did my last 2 and the dr submitted my paperwork and i was accepted without a problem

I go for my 2nd fill on Tuesday 6/15. I too am excited. My goal is to lose 10 to 15lbs a month. I would like to lose a total of 100lbs by November.

I was banded on April 12 and was wondering how much weight everyones lost. I've lost 40lbs. and was curious to c what everyone have lost.

I'm 4 weeks out and including the Pre-op and I am down 30 pounds. I FEEL GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry but my tickler is not right cant figure out how too change it.

I had the single incision surgery and it was great. I was up the next day, but i still took a month off after just so that i could adjust to thins.

I was banded on Monday also. I'm just a little sore but have lots of gas but the gas pains are too bad. If i could just get rid of that i would be ok. How long dod you all take off from work?

How soon after your surgery did your Dr schedule your first post op appointment?

In 4 hours, I will be banded. I was very surprised. On Friday the Dr's office called and rescheduled me from Wednesday 04/14 to today. I was unable to sleep last night. It seemd like i was unprepared, but I'm sure wil make it through to my new life. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also on day 1 of my pre op diet. My Surgery is on the 14th also. Im so excited and hungrey at the same time.

I have cigna and i am resposible for 10% of my hospital fees. I thought that those fees included to Dr but NOT. My surgeons off called and explain to me the amount that i need to bring to my pre and said that my hospital and anes bill is seperate but it is also 10%. Does any one no what the estimated hostital cost is?

When did you quit smoking. I am haveing a big problem quiting cold turkey. Compared to a pack a day , i am now smoking 4 cigs but i really need to quit, surgery in 3 weeks. Help!!!!!!!!!!!:tt1:
