I'm looking for friends to help along the way. I'm hoping to get a little bit of help through this weight loss journey:scared2:. Send friend request if interested.

Thanks, Capricorn32:smile2:

Capricorn, I see you are from Salisbury. You might want to check out the "Who's Where" thread to see who else is in your area in NC. Do you have a surgery date yet?

No, I don't have a surgery date yet. I've had my info submitted to the insurance co. and I'm waiting to be approved:scared2:.

What type of insurance do you have?? Once, all my boxes were checked off I was approved in 4 days, and I have BSBC NC.

Capricorn32, I'm in Denver, NC and about to schedule lapband surgery.

Hey this is Ms. Serenity,

I got approved about 17 days ago and my surgery to get banded is tomorrow. I'm so excited. I have been on the liquid protein diet for the last 10 days and it sucks. I'm hungry. I get to eat a salad once a day now but am still so hungry. Trying to drink a lot of water. Make sure you're protein drink is blended up really good so it will taste ok. I also mixed mine with some slimfast and that also helped. Hang tuff they say after I'm, banded I shouldn't be so hungry. Hope this is true. :smile2:

Do you mean Blue Cross Blue Shield, thats what I have. I am interested in the LapBand as well, I haven't actually went through the process yet. I was wondering and hoping that the insurance will cover it....is there anymore information you can give me?

I am looking for someone around the Morganton/Hickory area. I haven't had LapBand yet and don't even have an appt. I'm looking for anyone who can recommend a good dr around this area and for a dr. that will take BCBS. I am a full time student and a mother of 2, so don't have a lot of driving time. But, I do need to do something, I know that I can not lose this much weight on my own. THanks everyone.
