I didnt have any co morbs myself. I fit into the "200% over ideal weight". Was easily approved and have lost 132lbs.

Mine is near the larger scar. Just under my rib cage on my right side. Like Stacy said each doctor puts it somewhere different.

Best $100 I have ever spent! Keeps me honest and makes me want to achieve the little daily goals I've set for myself. Love Love Love!!!

That is so funny that you posted this. When I first got mine I was too heavy to even use. Now I have so much fun playing the games!

I had a time right after surgery where I cried. For me I went through a period of "mourning" for the food I wasn't going to be able to eat anymore and having regrets about what I did. My doctor did warn me that it might happen. It went away once I got the hang of how I'm supposed to eat AND the weight started coming off. It does get better!

I'm so glad I found this thread. I ordered my Fitbit. It will be here next week! Thanks everyone!

I go to my Pre-op counseling tomorrow. Then banded on the 7th! Whoohooo! :confused::thumbup:

That would be great Jenna! Day one is almost done, and it wasn't too bad. I've been keeping busy doing things outside and cleaning up around the house. How is your pre-op going?:thumbup:

I am getting so nervous and excited! One week from today I will be in surgery getting my LAP-BAND®!! I have started my one week pre-op diet and so far so good. Of course it's only been a few hours, I'm sure I won't be saying that later today. lol :thumbup:

I have Tricare. It took them 4 days to approve me for surgery.:smile2:

That is GREAT Carol!!! Like Jen said...HAPPY DANCE!!

With the surgeon June 7th!!!!! They finally called me yesterday with my surgery date. I am soooo excited, nervous, scared, yet very happy. Can't wait to start my healthy life! :laugh::thumbup:

That is AWESOME! I received my approval on Sunday. So I know the relief you are feeling. Good Luck!!! :thumbup:

Hi Belle! Welcome to the forum. I was just approved and still waiting for my surgery to be scheduled. They did mention it will be either June 2nd or 9th. Can't wait! I am getting very nervous and excited myself. Look forward to hearing more about your journey. Good luck!!:thumbup:
