I have a general question. I now have insurance that will pay for this procedure, but can not find anyone close to me that accepts my insurance. I am 46 y/o I have Medicare primary and Blue Cross HMO secondary insurances:confused: Can anyone tell me where I might go? There is an great surgegon in Jonesboro, AR which is twenty minutes from me. I live in Paragould, AR. I have been on prescription diet pills for three months and have not even lost 20 pounds.

Any advice woule be great.:confused:

I notice most people saying they are eating mushy or creamed food. I was told very clearly by Dr. Ortiz's nutritionist not to eat/drink anything but Clear Liquids for the first week and only add yogurt and Protein Drinks on day 8. I wonder why the big difference in diets? Anyone know? My stomach is so rumbley, I would love something thick!

Okay.... please don't tease! I tried to find my most 'accurate' pre-op photo, and decided to go with the one with the least clothes. So this photo was taken of me by my hubby down by the river camping pre-skinny dip. I have covered my bits up though by adding flowers in photo-shop to make it um, less naked! LOL.

Hello Everyone --

As I was updating our list, I see that we have had many new people join our forum (yipee:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: ). I'm so happy that each of you have joined this group topic and support each one of us.

Chicago CoCo --I didn't get your surgery date. As always, If I missed any of your surgery dates, please private message me so that I can add this to this list. We are in our last week of June Surgeries. However, Once the months is over, I want to compile a list of everyone (newbies as well). I think that the numbers of people being banded are impressive.

Best wishes to all who are being banded this week.

Melissa Lea:hippie:

Hi everyone-

I was banded on June 7th. I lost 17 lbs in two weeks. I know that is great but I haven't lost anything in a week. Has anyone else experienced that at all? I am not trying to get discouraged but it is a little hard not too.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
