Had my 1 month checkup
Had my appointment yesterday (4th) and all went well. I found out it was likely ham that was giving me a problem (pain, etc) rather than the crackers I thought might have caused it. Got the "water, water, water" lecture from the dietician and the physician's assistant. Maybe I need to tie a bottle around my neck, I just am not a drinker of anything, other than a cup of coffee first thing, and I used to drink a glass of milk with my meals, can't do that now.
The area around my port is still tender and swollen, so I didn't get a fill at this point. Plus, I've only been eating around 3/4 cup and feeling full, so they think my band may already have had some saline in it. Not supposed to be that way, but they say it happens.
They also said I'd done extremely well, having lost 30+ lbs in 6 weeks (2 weeks pre op and 4 post). Now I need to keep going!

GREAT JOB!!
You are doing great by losing 30lb is 6 short weeks. I hope to be on the lapband wagon soon. I called the insurance company and they said that they have all the paperwork and that I should check back next weeks and they may have a answer. Jean from the clinic thinks we will have to appeal because i haven't had enough complication for long enough. I'm still hoping that i call them on Monday and they say "Yep you are approved". I'm just trying to not get my hopes up too much :-)
Keep up the hope. My first insurance company kept putting me off, and we finally changed insurance company and they approved me right away. So don't be disappointed, keep on trying even if they don't do it right away. Just keep using my montra "It will all be worth it!"
