Yes they paid for all of mine, I went to Austin for my surgery. Great group of Dr.s there.

The lady who called me said that they may not pay for all of mine so I'm kinda worried now. *lol* I'm hoping they'll pay for all of it since I'm over the fat% and have other health risks. Keeping my fingers crossed.

They're sending me to Temple to get mine done.

:thumbup:Hi there,

I actually requested to go Austin and my PCP put it in for me as they were faster at getting me in and banded. The only thing I had to pay for was the psych exam, no biggie and well worth it!! I did not like the psych doc hear in Killeen, he depressed me!!! What are they wanting you to pay for?

I didn't know Austin would be faster or I might have gone that way. I'll see if I like the doctor and staff in Temple, if not, I may change. The psych doc, was it Chupik? I'm going to that office, but I don't know which person there I'll see.

Not sure what we may have to pay yet - I should find that out on the 21st. But I don't see why they wouldn't pay 100% of mine. Guess I'll wait and see.

So how are you doing with yours? Liking it? I'm really nervous about the whole idea of it, but my husband is reassuring it'll be ok. I just want it done since we only have 16 months left and we're out of the Army!

hey, i live in Killeen, and i was just wondering if anyone who also lives there might want a band buddy. someone to work out with, keep you on track, etc. i've been banded or 6 weeks now, so i'm still at the beginning, and i'm just starting to exercise. if anyone is interested, let me know.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
