TY been thinking of her and wondering how she did

May 2nd at 8:30 Preop is April 20 then dr visit April 25 when i start my week of liquid diet... Yea we are all on our way!!!!

Congrats you guys...!!!

Ty Judy. I am ready for a nice vacation and i am ready to come back and get the lapband placed so my journy to thinness can began.

In my hands i have the letter of approval!!! Finally now i can fax it (which i am going to go do in a few mins) to my surgeons office and finally get a surgery DATE!!! i am way excited to get this moving. Yet like most i am a bit scared to. I want this so bad that to fail is not acceptable to me.

Drum roll please!!!! My date is May 2, 2012 the day that my life will change. Yea i know its not in april (Sigh) but due to my long planed family vacation to florida April 7 to 14 I cant get my preop till the 20th so that pushes back my surgery date to May2 Now thats going to be a LONG LONG 4 weeks. Good thing I am going to be so busy on vacation one week so that week will fly by. Then I got preop stuf to do so I am hoping it goes by fast. I do preop April 20th then see the surgeon on April 25 ( irronic that was my choosen surgery date) then I go back the following week for surgery as long as nothing comes up on preop (Fingers crossed i sure hope not) Yea i am stoked...

Sabrina I hope your enjoying your vacation here I am from kentucky as well. I know how hard it is to wait. Even after they called me last week to tell me i was approved i went nuts before the letter was in my hands. Seem to take forever even though it was just a little over a week. Good luck and try to enjoy your visit. Its the weekend so even if the letter is at your house nothing you can do till monday with it

I am heading on vacation Sunday. Going to disney and unversal with my family I have promised myself this is my Last FAT vacation. I am going to make this work and i am going to enjoy life. The only thing i am worried bout this vacation and even told a friend of mine was that i am to fat to get on the rides. The embarassment of being to fat to get on a ride. Just worrisome to me.

Not a rant at all. Its disappointing for us all to hit roadblocks. SOunds like having to change drs though i sa good thing for you cause sounds like the last one you had was not going to be a good dr to have on your team long run. So lets look at it as a good thing As for may hey its going to be a GOOD Month

Yea julz i noticed that.. A bunch in APril 2 now i am May 2...

Omg Julz so many things i want to do the main thing is i want to LIVE.. Yea LIVE not just excist. I want to have fun not be so tired i can just work and collasp on my couch. I want to dance and hike... I want to dress sexy and not feel like i am stuffed in a potato sack. I want to go on a cruise ... Most of all i want when ppl look at me I dont worry if they are thinking how fat i am .. Yea I want to LIVE!!!!!

ty guys!!!

Jess the Carewise group called my surgeons office and told them i was approved its just they require the approval letter. So i am waiting on that. I wouldnt think it would take long to get it. I sure hope not. I have my heart set on an april 25 date.

Hi Jess I am also with BCBSIL. But i had to do a carewise program for 6 weeks. It ended March 22 and my Surgeons office called to tell me they had verbal approval Yesterday!!! I dont get to schedual my surgery till we get my approval letter but looking at the 25th... I am way excited for us all.

Awww dont let it get you down. Soon your be banded and losing lbs like a mad woman. I have not even been weighing as of late. I figure My time is coming I am not going to sweat it right now.

Wow this blog really made me excited. I just got approved yesterday and hoping to have my band placed by the last of april., I keep thinking what will i be and look like by my birthday and hopefull a cruse iam going on with my friends. That will be 6 mos from the time of my surgery. Your post gives me alot of hope.

I woke up today and i told myself today is the day. Felt really good bout it. I came to work and th e first min i had i called the insurance company while on hold with them i got a phone call on my cell, was the surgeons group to inform me they had received the phone call from carewise telling them I am APPROVED!!! I cant set my date yet cause i have to wait for an actual letter the surgeons wants it instead of just verbal but least i know now this is not a pipedream its going to happen... I cant tell you all how happy i am today!!!

THanks everyone. I am just waiting for the letter now I am hoping its in the mail today

The 26th is my date i am aiming for the surgeons group told me they dont see why we cant do it then. I have my vacation from april 7 to 14th in florida so that time is out. Also i have arranged for the days off i need for the 26th. So i am happy if i can get that date.

LOL well i am scared of heights and mice. When my boy was like 12 and 10 We lived in cali and i had my front door open in ran a little kangroo mouse I paniced JUMPED on my couch started yelling and my 2 little boys had to come save mom.. LOL we still laugh bout it.

HI mike i am debbie.. and WOW .. thats for sure an accomplishment. Glad you joined our group

I have called my insurance and asked ... 2 times already once wen and then today. They told me they had not heard from the Carewise i had to go my 6 mos thourh yet... but that someone named Sheila ( i really think thats from my drs ofice) had called asking them what my benefits was. I am thinking that might be a good sign, since carewise told me they would call the surgeon as soon as they knew. I did try to call the surgeons office today but ITs preop day there so no one got back to me yet

Hey i totally feel you. I had to do a 6 mos program which ended tue and i was told tue it would be submited that day or next and less then a week i will know. I have called the insurance now 2 times. I am hating this waiting. I was ok for the 6 mos now that i should be days away from knowning its driving me NUTS!

I miss her to and wish she would let us know she is ok. No matter what choice she makes.

Congrats!!!
