hi im 20 and am 5'5 and i have finally made the decision to get the band before i got pregnant i wieghed around 256 but while pregnant i reached a very dangerous weight of 300 thankfully my son was born healthy since then i dropped to 276 and i am not too comfortable with my weight now no clothes fit me , i find my self still wearing my maternity clothes and the same clothes all the time and i feel disgusting i do not feel as active as i did before i had my son and i dont like the feeling of always wanting to be in bed. i want to enjoy my son so therefore that is why i want to get the band bc by dieting i can not do it.

just curious to get a time range i just got insurance AETNA ***? what are my probabilities to even get approved for this idk if have sleep apnea, had diabetes when i was pregnant but i dnt have it anymore .

thanks for any input =]

Aetna was great! I had to do a three month diet that was monitored by my primary care doctor as well as a nutritionist. Once the paperwork was submitted I was approved in 3 days! If you have ANY questions just let me know! :)

HAHA!!! Sorry, but I'm so happy to see I'm not alone here. My daughter is now 15months and I find myself still shopping for maternity clothes because I refuse to buy larger sized jeans. I went up a size since having my daughter and now all I can wear are my maternity pants or leggings. I am still waitng to get banded. My Dr. is just waitig for my psych write up then he is submitting to my insurance. Our goal is January. I am currently 257-260 (depends on the time of day) and my goal is 140.

Welcome, and congratulations!

Looking at your picture, and being from NJ, I know EXACTLY where you were standing when that was taken.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
