How much was your Psyc evaluation?
Amanda1982 replied to outside*looking*in's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have insurance but they were billed $550 for my psych eval plus my (2) $30 dollar co-pays........ -
I’m a little frustrated I called the surgeon’s office to see how we looked and if they were able to send everything off the insurance company for approval (psych approval was sent in Monday) and the Bariatric Coordinator has not been in all week. :0(

I can relate sometimesI feel the same way I look in the morror and say hey I dont look like I weigh 276lbs that is until I see a picture someone else has taken or myself on tv or video. A lot of people I've told did ask me why and said I dont need it. How much do you weigh? What is your BMI? Over the last 5 years has you weight been increasing if so, if this cycle continues what wiil your weight be 5 years from now? Good Luck

Thinning hair, suggestions, thoughts
Amanda1982 replied to Cangel76's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can try taking boitin. -
K.Boone I agree with 123crod I don't think that ADORAblesista was trying to judge you at all and she was right there is a mental part of us that has to change before we will see any physical changes. We have to see our band as tools not solutions. I wish you the best of luck. Ps I totally agree with 123crod about the support group.

Keep the "fat" comments coming.....
Amanda1982 replied to gotmyeyeontheprize's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like Grandma is pushing some of her own insecurities off onto you....Keep you head up I have been in the same boat having a brother and 3 sisters that are all pretty much a size 6 and below when I weigh in at 276lbs. Good luck to you on your journey....next time act surprised "A FAT JOKE REALLY IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?" -
Have you tried speaking to your Nutritionist to see if it was what you are eating not how mcuh? Just a thought

Hi Kim my husband was not onboard at 1st however he went to the surgeon's office with me and got all his questions answered. He's better now, but still unsure. The bottom line is I had to do this for me so wether he was ok with it or not, if was not done for him and he was not paying for it. Try your best to answer any questions that your family has invite them to a seminar or to the consult with you. But at the end of the day make the desicion for you!!!

Okay after about 4 months, I finally have everything done. Nutritionist, psych eval, chest x-ray/upper GI, now I have to wait for the surgeon to sign off and then wait for United Health Care to approve me. This could take and another 2 to 3 weeks but I'm optimistic. Hopefully I can get banded in early Feb. I'm so ready to see my waist line again lol.

Eating solids right after lap band surgery
Amanda1982 replied to Tammartin's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am with the others follow you doctors advice.....If there is something you want to change, talk to your doctor. Why go thru all this to the band and then work against it. There are some cook books out there one is "Living Well After Weight Loss Surgery" check the book stores. Liquid does not just mean water and drinks. PLEASE DONT DO ANYTHING THAT COULD HURT YOU IN THE LONG RUN
