Can any of Dr. Miles or Schmitt's patients help me with a few questions I have? I have BCBS of AL PPO.

How much where you required to pay upfront? (with insurance)

What was the PREop requirement? (liquids for so many days etc?

What is the POSTop requirement? (liquids so many days, mushies.. etc)

I think that's all for now. We have a couple of vacations coming up and I would like to have a heads up on the money so I don't spend it on vacation lol and food requirements..... same.. need to be sure vacation goes along with them.

Thanks!!

Busdriver and I were at support meeting and we missed YOU! Please try to come to the meeting next month.

We are both doing pretty good. I'm down by 80 pounds now and I don't need another fill for awhile I hope.

Pam spoke at the meeting and gave us some solans that are really helping me. I thought I would share a couple with everyone. 1) If you take the time to do the "DO's", you don't have time to do the "Don't". 2) Be like a stamp. It's usefulness is the ability to stick to something until it gets where it's going." One more. 3) If you want something you never had, you have to do something you never did".

Okay, hope you see you in June.

Wow the board is REALLY quiet. I am guessing that means everyone is doing well and is soooo busy they can't get on here to post!! =)

I will be at support group on Saturday. I am sooo looking forward to it.

Not much has changed. I did start weight watchers (online) this past week. I just need a boost to get these last few pounds off! So far so good. I am excited because this is the LEAST I have ever had to lose!!!!

How is everyone? Jason, Lolly, Busdriver, Kanina, Tiana

I'll be at support group this Saturday and hope to see everyone there too. Personally the group really helps me and I try not to miss them. I learn something new each time.

helly everyone! its been to long since i have been on her. i have been so busy with the kids and work i havent had time to nothing. my son started t-ball this year and my little girl is in gymnastics. so it took alot of my free time up. then of course theres my autox racing i do.

Hi everyone - just checking in. Not much going on here. I will be out of town on Saturday so I will not be at support group. Hope everyone is well!!!

=)

hello people..i miss all of you!!! your posts have kept me going for over a year now!! i had a fill to 6cc's and i can finally feel the restriction that i have read everyone else talk about. i have felt restriction, but never like this...i'm hoping this will get me to a good, constant weightloss phase. hope everyone is doing great...miss reading your posts!

I will be out of town Saturday and hate to miss another support group but i need a break and am going to go have fun with my mom and sis

I know this thread seems to have died, but is anyone going to support group tomorrow?

I was just banded on 8/16 and read through all 130 pages of this thread prior to my surgery so I'd know what to expect and how to handle it. There was lots of really helpful info so thanks for that!

Amanda

I will be at group tomorrow. It really helps!! Hope you are doing well!!
