LapBand friendly!!

I am so glad that this type of website exist. We need to unite together and support each other. This Lapbandtalk is a wonderful tool to use.

I have finally made the decision to have the LapBand Surgery. For years I have read about the surgery and thought I would it was something for the "Rich and Famous" :lol: that I would never qualify or afford. To my surprise, I went to an information meeting and the next day I got a phone call saying my insurance (UHC) covers this type of surgery.

I feel this decision is the beginning of something new and great. So now I had to think of a username that would remind me of what I have begun.

MyNuLife= My New Life= :lol:

Hello MyNuLife aka "Trim" to me....I'm enjoying reading everything on this site - it makes me know we have made a good decision here. I'm really grateful for our insurance as well, I was in "chat" earlier and heard people talking about having to pay cash and even go out of the country to do this - we are soooo lucky! Talking about added travel expenses even to go for a fill! I'm looking forward to getting to know others on this site. Talk to you soon, your ol' buddy Slim:)

I live in the Dayton area. My Dr's office is in Centerville, Ohio. Wow you have your LapBand Surgery scheduled. Hopefully, next week I will have a date for surgery.

This forum is great for all banders new and old. I feel that any issue that we may have can be addressed on LapBandTalk.

Best Wishes for your surgery and Thanks for you response.

Hi

I'm new just banded feb.19/08. I am from canada and very interested in this site. In my province it isn't covered and bypass isn't done here but will pay for you to go to another province. The travel and time away from my kids wasn't worth it. Thiis is the safer and I like to be near my family and Doctor,so I'm in debt for a couple of years. But feel we made the right decision.

It sounds like you made the right decision. As long as you feel good about your choice you made that is what counts most.

Check this out.

When we add up all of our "fast food" and Snacks cost, the total amout can be alarming. I figured that I am saving money and many styrofoam containers by having this surgery. lol

Great Decision!

      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.
