  1. Many of you are way past this part of the lap-band journey -- the 3rd day of the pre-op diet. I'm just so glad to be at this step. Why? It took awhile for my insurance to process the paperwork. Initially, I was approved to see a doctor out-of-state. Then, that was corrected to a local doctor. Only thing, the insurance company was listing the doctor as a male, vice a female.
     
    Later, I was approved to see another local doctor. Great you say? Well, then the hospital the doctor works with suddenly refuses to see patients covered by my insurance. In a one-week turn around, the doctor tells the hospital to accept his patients. The hospital obliges; however, my insurance refers me to another doctor who also works at the same hospital. Confusing you say? It was. BUT.....THE GOOD NEWS IS I'M APPROVED!
     
    Day 3 is going okay. My husband has been encouraging me...but he gets to eat food that is not on my diet (of course). I'm constantly reminding myself of the goals I've set for myself so that I don't falter. I can't afford to falter. One day at a time...that's what I say.
