Getting the ball rolling



Recommended Posts

My insurance company requires 3 months of a supervised weight loss program... I am now going into my third month and the next step is to have a psyc evaluation , write a letter to my insurance company explaining why I feel I need the lap band, a letter from my Dr. stating that this surgery will be beneficial to me, my pre surgery tests and finally off to my insurance company for approval. Needless to say I am very anxious and excited to go through the process and ready for surgery. :(

Does your surgeon do another surgery besides the lapband?

If so check it out. Don't do the lapband. Save your self years of grief.

You're kidding right? I'm seeing a pattern of you going from thread to thread spewing absolute BS untruths about the Lap Band. Yet your profile is blank and you just joined this forum yesterday.

Troll much?

I wonder if this is the person also responsible for the strange emails that started coming from this site: I'm a boy looking for a girl, kind-of-thing. I just deleted it, Figured no site is pest-free.....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
