Wanted to say hello. Any blue cross PPO members here? How long did they take to give approval? I am scheduled for surgery but concerned about BC PPO approval as I cannot afford to self pay. Thanks. - Kris Hello,

Congrats! Do you have any idea when your surgery will be? Who is your doctor? I’m in Florida, too, but up near Pensacola. Had my surgery in Atlanta. Excellent surgeon, but I wasn’t really hot on his aftercare. When is your wedding? Does your fiancé support your weight loss? I know, lots of questions!!!! <G> Welcome to the group. Pam in Niceville _____ Hi Everyone, I am sort of a new member but I have never posted yet. I just got a call today that I can get the surgery. I weight over 300 lbs and I am getting married soon but I don't want to be fat when I do. My name is Kay and I live in Florida. I have been fat all my life and I don't want <!--more--> to be that way any more. I have my first appointment on December 27 and I am kind of scared because I don't know what to expect.

You have made the decision to take control of your life. Not long ago I was in your shoes. I was 43 years old, nearly 400 pounds and very unhealthy. Now nearly six months later I am 140 pounds lighter, free from diabetes and sleep apnea and living the life I had only dreamed of. I too am in Florida, in the Southeast region near Ft Lauderdale. I was blessed to find a truly gifted surgeon who placed his patients care over everything else. I'm a new man today because of this wonderful process. Take it one day at a time and you'll be fine.

I had my lap band on Nov 16th at El Camino in Mt View, CA. Thus far I am doing OK, I suppose. Has anyone on this group had a lap band? Am I supposed to feel full all the time at this point (4 days post op), and what should I expect in the way of healing? Currently I have a large very red area (mainly in pre exixting stretch marks) below the port site with yellowish bruising closer to the incision site. So far eating has not been an issue, except I feel I cannot get enough liquid in within the day. I am so glad there is a chat site available, hope to hear soon. Linda Hello all,
