  1. My insurance paid for my surgery. The only out of pocket expense I had was a $500 co-pay for the hospital stay. Are you having laperscopic surgery? If so, most of the time those are out-patient. I had to stay overnight because I have sleep-apnea. P.S. I will check out your jewlery website
  2. You are inspiring.. I was banded on 12/9 and have been on a slow start with the weight loss. I would lose 2 lbs and then gain one. I just got a fill on Tues 3/2 and am really feeling the restriction so I am hoping that the weight loss will kick in now. =)

    I was banded on 12/9/09. I have had many fills and did not feel any restrictions. I was eating big portions and in between hours so I asked the DR. to really make me feel the restriction. Now I am at 10cc filled - the most recent fill was Tues 3/2. It has been a week and I am still having trouble holding down food. I have noticed that the mornings are harder - I can barely swollow water. Where in the evenings I can eat very small amounts of mushy foods. I am debating whether to go get some fluid removed... any suggestions? Tips?
