I'm not sure about Medicare. I am self pay, not because of insurance but because of the cap on insurance monies to pay for the procedure. Only 50 done last year in a city of 1 million, I'd be waiting for years. So I decided to do it on my own. Have you had yours yet?

So I am meeting with nutritionist and psych on same day this week. I am nervous since I am 1 yr out of an abusive marriage and I was honest about stress and the feeling of depression on the questionnaire. I have never felt any self pitty and I have always tried to remain strong for my 10 yr old daughter. I firmly believe my faith has driven me and the leaving him was the choice for my lil one and I. But now I am.afraid the psych might say lap band is no good for me...someone please advise what the psych eval may consist of...

Ive yet to have mine yet either. You are over 40%, and that should be fine. But its best to ask those that know Good luck Sister! You did the right thing. Tell those drs not to make you regret leavin the bas*ard Sandy

I will attempt to start a new thread.I have come this far and showed proof of 6+ months of weight loss and my advocate said she could have me scheduled as soon as Nov. But I have never spoken with a psychologist and I know leaving him was the best. I have no regrets and I am in a healthy relationship now. I would just Hate to have the doc say no...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
