Hi, this past Tuesday I started my journey. My insurance is GEHA and they require the six months thing. Had my first appointment this week. Next is on Mar25 for sleep test, then several other appointments for other test. Has anyone ever deal with GEHA in regards to LapBand procedure?

Feeling pretty good with the restriction no trouble with eating at all!! I hope everyone continues to work hard and stay positive I have been a slow loser but still very content and know it's a process and it's not gonna happen over night!! Good luck everyone I'll keep updating everyone tanks for the support!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
