Looks like you are a good to go. Just a bmi of 30 which was my exact BMI at the time of surgery. For Insurance to pay its a higher BMI and still the medical conditions

They never gave me a time frame. You might want to ask??? But I Think its when you feel up to it. Your body will let you know. Write down your questions because they really didnt tell me anything like that and if it wasn't for the forum I would not have the answers to alot of questions. They ask for any questions and I just couldn't think of any as I was nervous.

Week 2 did give me inspiration too because I lost 10 lbs the first week and 1 lb this week and Im still starving. Its kinda cool to follow right along with them. I still cant exersise but Im going to start walking this week maybe that will kick start my metabolisim again

I brought flip flops for airport (so not to have to take off tennis shoes) and pack light I was so glad I did

You are such an inspiration! You look great and your attitude is awesome too!

I Believe they are and surgery takes about 15 min and they have you walking in the next 1/2 hour so you should be good to go. Bathroom is right there.

Pretty sure its 100 and you pay for your transportation to and from border. You also can stay at hotel for about 85 a night

My worst fear too but I know with 6 kids I will get one. This is what a friend told me. She had a flu and then she just watched to see if she can keep down and she could. at her next fill she had fluro and the band was fine. I am worried as I had kids at a birthday party on sat and a little girl was vomiting with high fever so I know its coming and Im on day 11. Just praying it skips me. Flu season is here. Hope you feel better and get in if you cant keep anything down.

Glad your back. Take care and don't over due ( I know thats hard with kids) Recover fast!

Hi Steve! I think you should look onto the OCC as I know he does teenagers and changes their lives. I don't think Insurance will touch a teenager but if you wait till 18 maybe they would. Just got mine done 9 days ago and already I know its the best decision I ever made. Do Lots of research and you will find everyone here on the forum so helpful.

Way To go! Im just a few days before you and I still have the bloat but its getting better each day 9lbs for me I am pretty excited too. Keep up the good work!

Thats Awesome! Just think its just going to keep coming off. Tell me how real food goes? Way to go!!!!

Welcome!!! Its well worth it.

YEAH!!! You did it. Congrats

YEAH! let us know what he says. That is so exciting

I will be thinking about you today! Yes you have to take a cab. you can walk to the mall but its still 6 blocks and its a lot of shoe stores.

Am I the only pathetic person who cries from the beginning of this show to the end? It just gets me right in the heart strings.

I Think its because we feel their pain.

Well as far as bloating I am 7 days out and look 5 months pregnant still but its better than the 9 months a few days ago. slowly going down. And I have only been to the bathroom once so I dont have your problem just the other one. It will get better!

Yeah Love the show! Just got my band last week so Im going to do it with them, Weigh weekly. They can seriously lose some pounds wow! Im still on clear liquid and starving and not coming close to those #'s Maybe when I can exercise again??? Yeah I will never work out like that LOL I Need Bob!!!

Did this last week, Left On thurs and came back on sun, It went so well. I have 6 children 1 with diagnosed with Autisim, MMR, and ADHD. He had a blast! Didn't even skip a beat. Get Healthly for him

My Only Pain was Saturday. I think I should have stayed at The OCC over night and got more drugs because I felt great after surgery. now Im just sore like I did 300 sit ups. Went to work Monday so not to bad of pain. But the gas is still there I look 9 months Pregnant but it goes down each day.

I Think the financing depends ,on your credit, on the rate you get but I still think with good income they would finance. There are two finance co on the website, I would give them a try. If you drive you park just outside the border there is parking and the OCC comes and get you and drives you across but Im sure you can park at the airport too. Call Caroyln or Lori at the OCC they are so helpful with all your questions.

I Just went and was so glad to have a heating pad and packing light. It was so helpful in the airport and going through customs/ All she mentioned above are awesome!

Thanks everyone. It gets better each day and had my best night sleep last night. I was just concerned because everyone talks about the shloulders and mine was in my ribs (made it hard to breath) And even though walking was the last thing I wanted I did it. Heating pad was helpful and still is. Thanks so much everyone!

Just remember it will be well worth it. Just got back and its all they promised it to be. They will not turn you down if everything checks out such as heart ect. Kids also do really good for a couple of days when your gone (its called a honeymoon period) I do foster care and I know this to be true. 4 days thats so exciting! Think about the good things.
