I'm new here as well and I've decided to get the surgery because my hubby's insurance will cover 80% of it which is better than having to self pay. I am still looking for just the right doctor. I also think I should get that new realize band that ppl on this post are talking about.... Welcome to the site and hope to become friends with everybody because lets face it..we are ALL IN THIS FIGHT against our enemy FAT!!! LOL

BLESSINGS TO YA'LL

My journey went fast -I saw the Dr. once he gave me a list of things to complete for my insurace co. did that in 5 months finished on tuesday -approved on friday and scheduled surgery for wed. never seen Dr. again until I came out of surgery.. Surgery lasted almost 2 hours.. My liver got punctured and I had to get a transfusion- secong thing Dr. put a pin hole with instument in first band and had to replace and add a second band. Long surgery, in Hosp. 3 days very sore- but I can say now at 1 week to the date I feel good except I still feel the port. It feels like a babies toes are caught near my ribs.. My Surgeon is one on the top 4 in the country so things happen.. Going for my 2 week check up next week :)

ThinDolphin3 where are you from?

80% is better than footing the entire bill....

My Insurace company picked up 100% minus my $250.00 co-pay.. Thats the only way I could truely afford.. Good Luck and we will stay in touch!!

      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.
