Hello All. Well let's start of by saying my surgery date is April 12th 2012 (yeah!!!). It was a simple and quick procees that I started in February and I'm getting banded in 2 wks. I have bcbs of IL. It only took them five days to approve my surgery. The doc's office said that was one of the quickest they've seen. In saying that, I just want to give all the glory to God. I prayed and said Lord Jesus if this is what you want for me then make it easy and he has. All my test's went smooth, no problems, and no complaints. I didn't really know what to expect reading some of the post on this site about the test's and the insurance approval process, but like I said thank you Jesus he made it easy for me. So this is a question to the post op banders on here: I'm single with no kids. I don't want to tell my friends or family about the surgery because of how they've reacted to other people we know that has had weight loss surgery. My doc requires an overnight stay at the hospital, but when I'm released would I be able to handle it at home by myself? I was going to take a cab home so I wouldn't have to drive as the hospital isn't that far from where I live. I am also planning to have everything I need so I won't have to go to the store for at least a week. By what I've read it seems pretty painful and I'm not sure that it's a good idea to go it alone. I really don't have a choice because I don't want anyone to know. But if it's going to put my health in danger then I would have someone. Please let me know what you think. Thanks a lot for reading this long blog
