My paperwork is final and being sent to my Insurance!!



Recommended Posts

So I have been part of this Lap Band process for about a month and half now and I gotta say, I'm pretty excited to get this new journey started. I just received word this morning that all my paper work is final and that it should be submitted to my insurance as of today or tomorrow. The thought of being more healthy and losing weight is starting to settle in. I hope I don't have any issues getting approved and that I don't have to jump through any hoops to get approval.

I have been overweight for most of my young life since I was 17. I'm currently 26 years of age and I have a BMI of 44.5 and I'm a tall gentlemen at 6'2. I have been on numerous diets in the past 5-6 years and have been successful at losing weight but I would gain it right back over and over again. I can tell you right now that I love food and that's the way it is and that's my biggest problem along with my portion sizes. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to the portion sizes along with "head hunger". It's been a crazy past two years, I'm on High Blood Pressure medicine along with signs of diabetes. I'm ready for the new lifestyle change and becoming a healthier person and setting the bar high for myself.

I have never really posted in details about myself on here but I'm glad I did and it sure feels good!! It will be just a matter of time before I know if I get approved or not. I shouldn't have an issue *fingers crossed*.

Well its off to work for me. Have a good day ya'll!!

@AmineR8705, I am about to go in for the seminar next Tuesday. How long was your entire process?

My entire process was 6 months. Just don't be in too much of a hurry...it takes longer than you'd think.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
