Just 3 days BEFORE Thanksgiving, and I am thankful for my band, My insurance paid for the surgery, I have Tenn Care select, very easy to get approved, if you have your eggs in a roll. I had my first fill Jan 17th worked well for about 3 weeks, even tho I still lost, I could eat more then my dr wanted so I was filled again on the 24th, at that time she found that she could only pull out 1 cc of the 2 that she put in, but she didn't seem to concerned about it, she said that some times absorption happens.
I have lost nearly 45 lbs already and like 6 inches, my height is 5ft 4 inches, I started out at 280lb and I am now 234lb. My personal goal is 160ish.
My surgery was done in Clarksville, Tn by Dr. Linda Hruska, she is a awesome surgeon, would most diffently recommend her to anyone.
can't wait to start reading more post
