  1. Try to tell yourself it is ok. This is quite an emotional thing. My first non pain related meltdown is when I strained some spaghettios in week two and snuck a bite--although I chewed it until it disintegrated. We have all hated ourselves for too long--we know the fight. You did this because you were brave and had the courage to stand up and admit you needed help. That crap in our head comes from people who don't understand. Hang in there! :speechles
  2. Hi there MIMI, I assume you have gone to CHRIAS. Try not to worry about the BC/BS thing. What it means is that they are in negotiations for how much the insurance wants to pay and how much the doc charges. My suggestion is to get everything done--as far as all of your other doc stuff and wait out CHRIAS. I think they will know in the next week or so. I just had a LAPBAND on 9/13 and have BC/BS of DE. Even if there is a problem--I don't know of other surgeons--there are none in any other county than NC. good luck. it will work out and all of the work you are doing will be worth it. I felt the same way. Had my 2 week today and have lost 13 lbs.
