My doctor took care of all that! They have certain papers and a procedure to get approved. Good luck!

I totally agree with u! some people on here like to throw things in our faces cuz we are new and dumb. I cant believe how some can be after losing 100lbs. Its like ha ha ha you are an idiot for posting that on here how dare you? I find alot of things on here offsensive and its sad when we come here to find support and answers.

Im going for a fill tomorrow

Glad to hear that everything went well! You sound like me when I had my surgery! It was a piece of cake wasn't it? only troubles I had was getting up from the couch. I didnt want to bend my stomach lol my poor sister had to come help me everytime. It was pretty funny because I wouldnt bend my knees and kept like a stiff board. Now to a speedy recovery Good luck!

I can't stay off the scale! I hate my scale and want to think it's broken! I was banded on 12/20/2010 and only lost about 5 lbs since surgery! this is ridiculoussssssss. Its already February and I think I should have lost alot more. I have 8ccs in a 14cc band. I constantly think about food and want to eat everything I see. I eat alot less than I used to and walk alot now. I do get slime and stuck so I know there is some type of restriction going on but Im hungry a couple hours later. I think I have alot of head hunger that's why im going to vent right now here. Im thinking about going in for another fill hopefully this monday :/ any suggestions anyone?

Its interesting how you gurggle while sleeping? hehe I gurggle when I am full after eating. I don't think it will go away, those are signs of someshort.

Elfiepoo...why does it matter to you what people post? I have seen u put people down and are usually harsh,. We can say w.e we want in here.

I went today for another fill and now I have 8ccs. Hope I will gain more restriction! I'm always hungry! My doc doesn't require the liquid or mushy diet after a fill.

Yeah, I have 5 ccs right now im my 14cc band and I can't tell a difference...Im going for a fill tomorrow and Im going to get another 1cc. They want to take it slow only 1cc at time, hopefully I will start feeling restriction soon!

Thanks ladies!

I've been banded alil over a month and waiting to start this weight loss. Can you tell me what made you successful in your weight loss? any secrets with which foods you ate the most, tips or "tricks" you did to lose weight? I also tend to eat when bored at work and would like some snack ideas instead of going downstairs to the store and getting junk food! ugh Im currently at 6ccs in a 14cc band and not at my sweet spot yet.

It only took me 4-5 days to hear from my insurance. I have BCBS in IL and my paper work was submitted on a Monday and Friday afternoon, I called BCBS and they told me they just approved it I would call if I were you!

I have a sit down job....my surgery was on a monday and I went back to work the next tuesday. Probably could have even went back to work on thursday but it was xmas eve

I get hungry before 4 hours. I eat small meals but I am not satisfied and my hunger comes back before 4-5 hours. I do not have any stuck episodes or sliming either. I hope to find my sweet spot and restriction soon

I was banded a month ago. Dec 20th Im still able to eat as much as I was before. Wondering if I will feel tightness soon? I havn't had any sliming or stuck episodes (knock on wood)

I went for my first filling and I now have 6ccs in my 14band. No restriction yet and I go for another filling in 2 weeks! Ughh can't wAit to start loosing

woooho! Amber! I was banded on the 20th too! I go for my first fill tomorrow! Im so nervous, I hate needles but I cant wait to start losing more weight and feel that restriction! my fills are covered too

Ohh I hope! I want people to stArt noticing

Ive been stuck at this weight for 3 weeks now

Beck, I am drinking alot of wAter. I Have always been a water drinker! Ughh so annoying lol my doc said it's normal some patients are like me and some aren't. By the end of the day my black pants are white!!!! It's sick my body is lacking something but idk

YAY! congrats to you too! Didn't it go by so fast? I can't believe its only been a month and *knock on wood*, I have had noooo complications! except my skin being so dry! I look like a reptile! its awful.

It's been a month since my surgery. I can't believe its only been a month! and I want to eat everything I see. I lost 12 pounds pre-op and since surgery only 5 pounds! So only about 17-19 pounds up and down on a good day! I can't believe that's all. Clothes still fit the same and I just want to start losing! I go for my first fill this saturday! so im hoping I will feel some restriction and the pounds will come off!

I have BCBS of IL and I only had to pay my deductible which was $4,000 because my surgeon is out of network. If I picked a surgeon in network then my deductible would have been only $1,000! But I didnt want to take any chances

OMG! I AM ADDICTED TOO! I go on it at work, on my ipod, on my cell phone...while im on the train, at school, at work, in the passenger seat of a car (make my bf to drive on purpose) laying in bed before i go to sleep. Seriously it's any second of the day that I have a chance. emptyNest - I thought I was going to stop after I was banded but nope! now I just go under the post-op section lol its bad but very good when I have questions, confused, food ideas and etc. Im sure you know
