I have my first appointment with my surgeon tomorrow. My consult was approved already by my insurance. I am hoping that is a positive sign that the actual surgery will be authorized soon. does anyone have any experience with Blue Cross of California HMO?

It all seemed to hit me. I may never eat regular again. I now have surgical scars on a body that had never even been to a hospital. I mean Im having BIG time doubts about this and I can't change back. It's not like ANYTHING Ive ever done before. I had this thing put in. It was my choice, Im the only one to blame. I really did a lot of research before the surgery but nothing could prepare me for how Im feeling. I was really thinking about making myself puke so it would slip and have to be removed....

I haven't posted here for awhile. I've been approved. My surgery date is April 8th. I can't wait to be on the losers bench! Now I must attend a three hour education meeting. :thumbu p:

Got up today feeling better! Lost 6 lbs since banding 6dys ago!
Love this site! Lots of info for me and nice to know others are sharing my experiences!

I WANTED TO BE 175 BY MY MOM'S BDAY. I WAS 176 YESTERDAY. SO PRETTY DARN CLOSE. I WILL TAKE THAT AS A WIN. NOW I WANT TO BE DOWN TO 170 BY APRIL 1. I THINK IF I SET MY SELF SMALL GOALS I WILL NOT FIXATE ON THE "LARGE" NUMBER. SO 170 BY APRIL 1 IS A GOOD GOAL TO HAVE. ALSO WATER WATER WATER.... AND NO SUGAR. I AM HAVING A TOUGH TIME WITH THE SUGAR. SO I AM AWARE OF IT. I THINK WRITING IT DOWN AND KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT READ IT MAKES ME REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT I AM DOING.
