I know it when I am dieting I will drink mainly water, so I am a strong believer that water is key. I haven't talked with my doctor about Adipex, so I'm going on my own to get them. I need something I look a HOT mess, since I can't fit into any of my clothes and I refuse to buy bigger ones!

I will be starting Adipex again on tomorrow just to jump start my weight loss. My claim is still pending with UHC, so in the mean time I've started cutting back on my calories and carbs. Adipex do make me sick if I do not eat right when taking them, so I will make sure I eat enough of the right foods. Other than that I am just waiting to get approved. Sheila Be BLESSED!

Hello everyone, I am sitting here reading about all the upcoming surgery dates and hoping I will here something this week. I checked my UHC claims online, but I only see where they have processed my visit with UT Medical. I am ready to get rolling...hopefully I will get banded sometime in December. Sheila Be BLESSED!

Hello everyone! I haven't been banded yet so I'm very nervous! I'm more scared about the band around my stomach than the port area. I don't want band erosion or slippage and I don't want to PB...but I wanna lose weight!

:clap2: :clap2: Telly I am so proud of you!!!!:clap2: :clap2: KEEP IT UP GIRL!!!

Thanks girl!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I finally know how to add pictures...thanks Telly!! Sheila Be BLESSED!

Hi Telly great job!!! You're my inspiration!! Once I am banded, I will use your exercise routine to drop the pound right! All the pictures are really nice. Can you tell me how to add pictures to my journal? Keep up the GREAT work! Sheila Be BLESSED!

Great job!! I look forward to having no complications with or after the surgery. I don't have a date yet, but I'm hoping soon. Can you tell if the band is there?

Thanks ladies!!! I'm counting down!!!

Hello everyone, I went to my other appointment at Dr. Madan's office (UT Medical) on yesterday and everything went great! They are very imformative and easy to talk too. I submitted all my paper work on yesterday to the coordinator and she will submit them to UHC on Monday. She said she loves UHC because they are so easy to approve WLS, at least within seven to fourteen days. However, I couldn't sleep last night from waking up thinking about the lap band and when I was sleeping I was dreaming about my weight! So frustrating:phanvan !! I guess I'm still debating (for what I don't know) as I have stated before I'm excited at one point, but then I'm scare the next. I look at Telly's before and after pictures and think WOW!!! I could look like that and then I get ALL excited and motivated, then once the adrenaline is gone I'm like do I really need to do this?? I think do I really need to go to such an extreme solution to lose weight? I just need to get back on my diet and WORK OUT! Then I think about all the failed attempts I have tried to lose weight. So I don't know... Type ya later Sheila Be BLESSED!

Hello everyone, I have UHC too and when I called about a month ago I was told it was covered, only if I met the criteria. So after seeing my my primary care physician, he agreed and wrote the reccommendaton letter. I have all the necessay paper work, so I hope I am approved. Good luck to everyone that is waiting for their approval. Be BLESSED!

Once I lose weight I will start wearing tanks for once. They're not flabby, kinda solid and my stomach to me hang a little. When I lost weight a few years ago I was toned, so I plan on workin it out BIG time!

THANKS GIRL!!

Hello everyone, I have decided to go Dr. Atul Madan at UT Medical, since Dr. Woodman charges an additional 500.00! I've did a lot of research and I feel comfortable with my decision. My primary care physician sent my letter of reccomendation to me today, so I have all the necessay paper work to submit to UHC. I hope everything is going well with everyone....until next time, type ya later. Be BLESSED!:mad:

Hello everyone, I have UHC too and was told that my BMI had to be at least 40 or 35 w/ health problems and 100 pounds over weight. Right now my BMI is 40 and I am one hundred pound over weght. I have been to the seminar and I just got my letter from my primary care physician today. So I have submitted everything to the doctor...I just have to "weight" and see what happens.
