Yeah, I'm not telling anyone basically because all the people I know .. are already skinny and had already said in the past to me ... "Weight loss surgery is the easy way out" so I don't want to hear any other type of those comments.

Thank you for writing back! I wish all of you the best of luck with your journeys. I will keep you both posted!! I'm deff going to listen to the doctor! I want to avoid throwing up lol

Hi guys!!! I have a couple things to talk about... 1. My surgery is 16 days away!! (Jan 15) I'm so excited!! I can't wait!!! 2. I don't have to do a liquid diet... My doctor doesn't require it. I came up with a decision that I'm doing it anyways. I feel like with liquids in your bodily a couple days to a week before is safer. 3. Only a few people in my family know about my surgery... I need more support.. So please add me as a friend.. I want to hear all about your journeys! I need more support from everyone. happy happy happy!!

Good Luck!!! You can do this!! It's tough but it will all be worth it in the end. God Bless you<3

Thanks guys

ohhhh okay!! Thank you!

Thank you!!! omg good luck!!!!! Thank you soo muchh!!!! thank you!! it took about 7 days Thank youuuu

So guess what guys? I got the date to my surgery!!!!! JANUARY 15TH! IM SUPER EXCITED! but i have a very important question..... the receptionist at my doctors told me i dont have to do a 2 week pre-liquid diet before surgery and i dont understand that when everyone else i know had to? Do you think i should contact the doctor again to make sure? Have any of you never had to do a pre liquid diet?

I GOT APPROVED THIS MORNING!!!!!!! WOOOT WOOOOT!!!! TOMORROW AFTER MY CLASSES I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DOCTOR TO FIND OUT WHEN THE DATE IS!!! IM SOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING EXCITED! THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!! KEEP ME UPDATED WITH YOUR JOURNEY & BE MY FRIEND!! <3

My doctor sent all my info to my insurance on the 20th and i'm so impatient too lol best of luck (:

How long did it take everyone to get approved for surgery by their insurance? Just wondering... Its been about over a week and I'm so freaking anxious lol I have medicaid Husky A.

Hey everyone... On November 16th it's my last dietitian visit. Last week I went to the heart doctor.. he said everything looks great. Today I went to the lung doctor he told me my lungs are perfect but he wants me to do this machine over night (at home) to monitor how I sleep. GREAT I gained about over 20 pounds since I started this journey and feel really down about it. I should be getting surgery Dec/Jan. & I'm VERY excited! Talk to meeee I want to hear your stories.

2 more dietitian appointments ( October & November ) My insurance has no other choice but to approve it because I have a case worker there & she says I NEED the surgery! I plan on getting the surgery sometime in December... because I'll be on winter break. ( I'm in college ) I'm SO excitedddd Talk to me ; tell me your stories ; I need support!! let's be friendssss!

Oh okay!! That's great that your moms insurance was approved! Thanks for letting me know

Hello everyone! I'm back on here!!!!! I ran into a lot of trouble =/ .... As you know I started my whole program in Jan. 2012 then my third Dietitian appointment was in May ... A day before my 4th appointment the dietitian calls telling me my insurance is not going to pay her anymore!!! =O I was SOOO upset! So I called and went crazy on them letting them know they TOLD me It would ALL be covered!!!! I ended up getting a case worker and she set me up with a dietitian they pay for FINALLY!!!! I had my 4th dietitian appointment today!!! I'm SO excited for surgery & should be having it .... maybe November? December? QUESTION!!! : After you send your paperwork into the insurance company... how long will it take them to approve it???? I'd like to hear other peoples storiesss. Talk to meeee =] I need more supporters!!

Thank you guys for your stories!! Good luck with your weight losses/Surgeries!! I appreciate you guys writing back to me!! On the lapband site noone did =( lol but i have made my decision I am going to get the Sleeve and my first appointment is on Feb. 10th I will keep you all updated!! Thank you so much for your support!!

Hey everyone (: My name is Tiffany and I am new to this site. I recently signed up for lapbandtalk.com. Today I went to my seminar and they mentioned the lapband, bypass, and the sleeve. I had my mind set that I wanted the lapband but now that I found out about the sleeve I'm interested. I wanted to write this post to hear about your journeys. Please let me know your journey whether you've got the sleeve or didn't. I would also love to hear more information about the sleeve, so tell me anything you know lol I look forward to reading them. Thank You (:

Thank you all for responding to my blog. I really want to get this lapband done, I have been in the program at Children's Medical Hospital for about 2-3 years.. & they still haven't even told me when I could get it done. I was thinking maybe because it's a children's place? I started going there when I was 17. Now that I'm 19 I just decided to go somewhere else. I'm excited and Don't mind waiting 3-6 months. I just don't want to wait years like I did at the Children's place. I thank you all for responding once again and wish you all the best of luck with this journey (: Today I am going to my seminar & will post another blog to keep everyone updated on how that went * (:

Anyone with Aetna Insurance? ; I want to get the lap band done ASAP. I was just wondering, How long does it take for you to get it done? For example: If I have my first appointment on Jan. 9th will I be able to get it done 3 months after or 6? I understand I have to meet the requirements (which I know I already do). Answers please? =(

Awww really? Congratssss =] keep me updated please! Thanks I can't wait to get it!!! But girl, how did you get it in only 2 months? That was fasttt! lol
