My life will change on Aug. 3

By jamelyn1979

I still can not believe I have gotten to this point. I honestly never thought I would have stuck out for 6 months (insurance requirement) to be almost 5 days away from weight loss surgery. I am extremely nervous and very unsure of what the future will bring, but I am ready and looking forward to the unknown. I can not promise I will post everything that I am going through, but I will do my best.

    Great JOB hanging in there and waiting for the insurance requirements to pass! I know of a couple people that wanted it done but thought 6 months was too long to do what the insurance required, I said six months is going to pass anyway so you might as well be on your way to getting the lapband. I wish you all the best with your band.

    I am in between y'all. I am the 4th. I just want this liquid diet thing to pass and get back to something solid.

    I agree! Although my doctor doesn't have me on total liquids for pre-op, I eat a low cal frozen dinner for dinner.
