Our Idaho thread has been quiet for some time and I know we have some new folks in Idaho on LBT now.. so Im starting a hello thread! :wave:

To SheryBery - You asked about my pre-op situation with Dr. Cahn. I was only on the pre-op for about two weeks and lost 16 pounds. I was also suffering with a hernia just above my belly button that Dr. Cahn was worried about and planned to repair at the time of my banding. So, I was fortunate in that I made it thru the pre-op steps fairly quickly. I was self pay, which also helped. I dearly love Dr. Cahn and have a great respect for his approach to post op care. You will be in good hands!

ROFLMAO.... Dawg I am sure P'Nut would not want you to look like that either. It would be a huge tranformation though!!

Hi there neighbors...I'm not from Idaho but Montana and am currently in Texas to do my surgery on the 11th. I'm totally new to these chats so please bear with me I'll catch on. Thanks for all the info I'm able to read up on, this will be a strange new experience!!! Talk again. Montanadana:cool:

Hey Montanadana,

Welcome to LBT neighbor!

It appears for whatever reasons they have decided to ban P'Nut for the reason:

"You broke the rules".

The notice states that the ban will never will be lifted and P'Nut will not be creating other user accounts to attempt to circumnavigate the ban.

She sends you all her love and best wishes for continued success in your weightloss journeys.

If anyone would like to stay in contact with P'Nut please contact me and I will provide you with her email address.

Oh and guys a very special request from P'Nut.

Please do not start, participate, or organize a "bring back P'Nut" campaign.

She'd rather her name just fade away than have it dragged through more hysterics. What is most important to her (and always has been) is that LBT is a supportive environment for everyone.

Hello Idahoans,

I'm in Boise. Not banded yet. My Primary Health ins does not cover it. Has anyone had any luck with Primary Health? I quit working as of 8/31 so I am on Cobra at $600/mo. I am applying to both Regents and Blue Cross. As I read their coverage, it looks like Regents might and Blue Cross won't. Again, any feed-back would be very much appreciated.
