Hello everyone just to keep you posted.My insurance company has recieved the claim and its being reviewed. It is nothing like the power of prayer. Pray for me. I can use as much as possible. They said they should know the result in a few days. >

wE WILL ALL BE PRAYING THAT YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION

I am so pleased with the band. i REACHED MY FIRST BIG GOAL TODAY

Donna is that the total amount in your band? :-?

I feel a tummy tuck coming on. So thanx everyone for your post.

Your right, I will remain positive. This is the best info I ever got from the forum. It will save me 8,000 dollars =D>

I hate not drinking with my meals. The ice cube sounds great. I will try that. Thanx

Hi everyone I am sorry to hear about the last two post. I pray that everthing turns around for you. Just to keep the board posted I am almost 40 lbs lighter in 3 months. The band is the bomb thankyou OCC. =D>

I had my first fill June 10th 2007 and already I need to go back. My second fill is scheduled for 7/20/07. I thought the first one would last a little longer but thats o.k. As long as the band is working I am happy>

I have been doing step aerobics daily inside because of the crazy heat wave I will stay in doors for awhile.

I know that most post on forums like this are usually negative because the people who are not having problems are somewhere losing weight like crazy so I just want to put a positive spin on things. I was banded 4/9/07 and was so scared but now I realize it was the best thing I ever did. I have so much energy, my confidence is back up, I like buying clothes again, people are always commenting on the weight loss. I am soooooo pleased. The pro's out weigh the cons. I love myself the way I used to and that was worth the money. start 197lbs 5"2 april 9th 2007 first fill 167lbs june 11th 2007 today 160 lbs july 12th 2007 >

I just submitted my information for reinbursement please pray for me. btw I see on my eob they spoke of pre- authorization for obesity surgery.Do you think that will ruin my chances since I went directly to occ without telling them? Let me know what you think. However I will still remain positive and watch god do his work. Agsin thanx for the info.

I have been going back and forth between hikes and step aerobic depending on the weather. 4 to 5 times a week

Please write me back as soon as possible. I had surgery in April of this year and also paid out of pocket, well i got fiananced. I need to know exactly what you wrote because I also have bluecross blue sheild personal choice. Please contact me by email Linx2wealth@comcast.net or through the forum. I love the surgery but the monthly bill is killing my pockets. I too did not want to jump through the hoops. Again please contact me as soon as possible.How long did it take for them to respond? >

It was great. Yes they do use it if you request it.

Today i did some hiking we walked up lots of hills for a total of 5 miles. I am sore but I have alot of energy and no appetite.

Well thanx you guys I feel like an idiot no wonder I was having this problem.

friday 30 minute aerobics =D>

O.K. I was filled 4 days ago and when i started to eat I took it very slow. Noteating more than 1/3 ofa cup.After eating that much I stopped but not because I was not still hungry ,only for fear of the pbing. Today I decided to push it up a bit just to feel the restriction and know my limit. I ate a bowl of frosted shredded wheat and was able to eat a cup and a half which is alot more than 1/3 cup the amount I was supposed to be satisfied with. If I can continue to be able to eat more than 1/3 I will call for another fill. btw after I ate 1/3 serving for all yestersay after a hour or so I wasn't hungry anymore but it's when I am actually eating that I want that feeling. start weight 197 3/25/07 surgery 188 4/9/07 first fill 2.2cc's 168 6/11/07 today 6/15/07 165 32lbs gone =D>

Thanx that sur was helpful. Maybe instead of bacon and eggs for breakfast I will start doing shredded wheat of something with some carb content. :-?

O.K it was very hard to post thisonly because it's embaresing. I have been having bad breath every since I started solids. I did some research only to find the way I am eating is very similar to Atkins because I always try to eat protien first which usually fills me up before I can get to any carbs. Anyway..... research shows that people who don't consume too many carbs go into something called ketosis ( forgive me if its spelled wrong). That is what causes the bad breath.Please be advised I just visited the denist who gave me an a++ visit so its coming from my gut I know it and its gross any suggestions?

That is so awesome WOW 65 inches astadium wave for you lol =D>
