  1. Hello all. For those of you who are/know someone dicouraged about insurance not approving you, I have advice. Do it anyway. Sure, I had to take out a loan to finance it, but I know I will save the money on restaurants, groceries, etc. I was banded at 9:30 this morning and couldn't be happier. I'm ready to start this new chapter in my life! I know it seems like a lot to take on without insurance. I may have to drive my same old truck a little longer, or not buy the best Christmas presents for my family, but they will understand. My only complaint is the pressure on me to get a cpap machine for my newly diagnosed sleep apnea. I was told I couldn't do my surgery without it, and the nurses in the recovery room said I didn't need it. wonk, wonk. At least my liver was small:unsure: Seriously, Congrats to all of us!
