This is such a happy post. Congratulations. And happy birthday

Congratulations

Wow, you look like a brand new man! Congrats!

Ya'll look AMAZING!!!

At this point, I've put waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much into this marriage for anything to destroy it! LOL. I always tell my hubby that I'm going to trade him in though, it's a joke we have!

Wow! I'm glad to see there's a lot of December Sleevers to be!! YAY! I should be sleeved in December as well! I have my last Nutritionist appt Wednesday then everything is submitted! I'm trying to get it as close to my winter break as possible.. since I work at a school!

Cigna does now cover it. With the same guidelines as the band.. or any other WLS.

Best of luck to you

I just found out last night, the nutritionist/dietitian through my surgeon's office is not covered by my insurance. And, I began to call the insurance company and search online for one who would be covered..... the lady at the insurance company gave me two numbers.... I thought YES! THis should be good. Nah, she gave me numbers to Pediatric dietitians :cursing: Now I am having a lot of trouble finding someone. I'm finding they're all either pediatric ones, or they are not available for my purpose :huh2: ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Whoohoo. Congrats. I made my appointment for the psych eval. And tomorrow ill make the dietitian appt. And I have a date for my mandatory pre op class whoohooo

Yayyyyyyyy! I'm glad there's finally some more December bandsters! I'm thrilled. I called my doctors office this Friday, and the only thing I need to do right now is have my doctors submit my last two weights from July and August. And meet with the psych. YAY I look forward to getting to know you guys!

I think 14 is just too young to mentally and physically go through with this. It's a life changing decision. And, there's just so much that goes into it. I would be afraid that it would be just too much for a 14 year old to take. I watch the Biggest Loser, and one of the girls on there had WLS at 14, and she just was clueless. The band is a tool to help you be successful. But, the real work comes within. I wish him the best of luck with whatever is chosen.

You look incredible. Do you track inches? All I can say is WOW! That's incredible.

whoo hoo for saving money. and, that saving money idea is awesome. i'm going to give it a try.

Congratulations

That's ridiculous. This has happened to my mom a few times. Luckily, she has a GREAT doctor who has re-opened his office.. or even met her in a general location to help her. She is EXTREMELY sensitive with her fills. and like you mentioned her saliva sometimes fills her up and makes her sick. I would try calling again. I've read EVERYWHERE on this site that going to the ER will be no help. They don't have experience with the band. My mom was almost at your point before her doctor said to meet her in a close location... and she told him that she ALMOST went to the ER.. and he said they wouldn't been able to do much. and it would of cost her 500 dollars. I hope you get some relief soon

My mom was loosing her hair in the beginning. I came on here and read that it could be because of a few things... We're pretty sure it was because she was taking TOO many Vitamins... I forget the exact one... and once she stopped taking them... it grew back!

Congratulations. I wish you the best of luck during your journey.

I'm sorry :thumbup: My doctor recommended me for a sleep study. I told him that the only thing they'd be studying is me actin' a fool. I don't sleep in front of people well.

Congratulations

It's a personal decision. While I wouldn't completely rule out your brothers opinion.. I would take it to heart. And, know that everyone is able to think what they want. But, this is about YOU. It's about the lifestyle you want for yourself. It's about YOUR health. I pretty much realized that without the band I can not be as successful as I could be WITH the band. I need it as a tool to help. It's not a miracle cure all. It will simply encourage me to make better choices, and it will encourage my belly to know it's limit. Whatever choice you make, make sure it's what's best for YOU.

Congratulations! That's amazing

This new season just makes me want to cry. There's so much sadness. I normally don't keep up to date with this show. But this year I placed in on my DVR list.

All my paperwork has been submitted to my doctor's office. And, now they will submit it to the insurance company!!! So the waiting game OFFICIALLY begins!
