Still waiting to hear from insurance company. Had another check up today and I'm down another 9lbs;) So I started at 279 and weighed in at 245. I it's 34 total. I lost more because I've been doing mainly liquids because I thought I'd hear back from insurance company already. Not craving to much because I'm also having soups;) Doctor said he still might have to change to band because of all my Ms meds. I hope not because I don't want the band. I've heard one to many horror stories. I also know what goes in must come out. lol Having multiple surgeries does not sound appealing. Once I get the ok, I will have to stop all my meds for at least 2 weeks before surgery. I want to stop now because office already gave me a surgery date for Aug, but Doc said not to until I hear back from insurance. I'm getting a little Frustrated and a little nervous. I keep having to remind myself that I'm almost there. Still have my Figures crossed that everything goes well;)

Are you revising to the Sleeve or Bypass?

No. I'm still waiting to have the sleeve because my new insurance said I had to do a six month medical supervised diet. I've recently completed everything they required. My old ins a few years back only covered a portion of the cost so I switched ins because I couldn't afford it. Since Jan, I've had two ms relapses and had to go on steroids. My doctor now is saying that I might do better with the lapband, instead of sleeve. My papers have already been submitted to ins comp however he said he may have to amend it. He's going to talk with my neurologist regarding my ms meds(Aubagio) and get back to me on mon. I'm still hoping to have sleeve. My neurologist already wrote a clearance letter.

Do not get the lapband.I am in the ER now...since 2004 it's been a nightmare and I gained all the weight back.Its not good!
