Oh man. I used to do that when I was pregnant.

Hi Thank you for the information. I am 12 days out. I understand what you mean about the low amount of water you ingest. I have a timer to reming myself every 15 mins to drink. Dianna

Call each of the insurance companies, find out if either of the procedures is even "allowed" on the policy. I have bcbsnc and got denied after all of the testing. they kept "requesting more information" from the Dr. when they had all of the information they needed sent to them. I think they were just stalling. when the 30 days was up, they denied mine. my BMI is 36, with no other problems. I was heart broken, so, I wrote them a letter, I told them "everything" I felt, and even ask them if I had a heart attack/stroke or worse because of the weight, were they going to deny me benefits then too?? I faxed it ---They called me!!! and approved it immediatly!!!!

Good luck to you! It'll be an exciting day! I was scared and nervous but incredibly happy at the same time. Lisa

Hi: My sister-in-law was thinking of having lap band surgery but has now decided she would like to consider gastric bypass surgery. She is very anxious to speak to people who have had the gbs. She does not have a computer so would need to communicate by phone. If you would be willing to speak with her, please email me and either I could give you her number or you could give me yours. She would be so appreciative. Thank you. My email is: [email protected]
