***not be embarrassed to be 'the fat mom' when I go to school functions for my kids ***be able to buy cute clothes with no 'X's in the size ***enjoy going on bike rides with my kids ***feel sexy on the back of our Harley And the one above all else is be a good roll model for my children!!

From what I have read in different post, some insurance does require the 6 months and some do not. Good luck!

Congratulations, good luck!!

I am a going to be banded 8/6. So far I really like everyone in the office. Can you tell me what things you have heard??

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your dad.

I'll ask a couple friends I have up that way and see if they can recommend anyone.

Where is your sister located? I used to live north now I'm south of Columbus.

I am putting my off a month due to vacation. I would think that any doctor would be willing to work with you. Good luck

I will not be banded till August so I'm not getting rid of things yet however I do have a pile of clothes I can not wait to get back into!! I am so tired of wearing the same few shirts and pants! Congrats to you all!!!

I have been thinking about getting one....you like it?

Congrats and happy birthday!!

One thing that worries me is sagging skin.....I heard that maybe wearing something like spans may help this problem, anyone try this or have any tips for sagging skin??

I am scheduled for August 6th. I am going July 9th for my nutrition class, then I start the preop July 22nd. This seems like a lifetime away!! Hopefully your next apt will go great and your surgery date will not have to change!

This is the best post I have seen today! Thank you for sharing! I am getting my band in August, and each success story gives me more confidence that this WILL work.

Best of luck to you!! And I've also had trouble getting on the site!

Its official, I get my band on August 6th. I could have gotten it sooner but I didn't want to take the chance of being sore on vacation so I put it off a few weeks. I feel better just having a date!

I'm not on MFP but can you tell me what it is, I have seen a lot of post about it. Thanks!!

I can only go by what I have. I have BCBS and once my information was submitted to them it only took 3 days to get the approval. Good Luck

Feel better

I think the preop diet scares me more than anything! Sent from my Kindle Fire using LapBandTalk

I called the doctor until they submitted everything to insurance then I started calling insurance. I'm no good at waiting, I know I'm not going to have surgery next week or anything but I will feel great to get a surgery date!! Sent from my Kindle Fire using LapBandTalk

It took me 3 days to get my approval from BCBS. I called them everyday! Sent from my Kindle Fire using LapBandTalk

I also have BCBS. I didn't think it took long either. My first apt was 5/16 and my approval came Friday. I was excited it was so quick! I am thinking that I am going to have to schedule my surgery a few weeks later as well, we will be on vacation mid July and I don't want to be recovering then. I could have went to the Columbus office but he is only there a few days a month and I didn't want to wait! I don't mind the drive, after my first fill I'll probably start going to the Columbus office. How was the preop diet? Sent from my Kindle Fire using LapBandTalk

Sombra1718 I wish you the best with your journey. In my opinion having children is the greatest blessing!! Sent from my Kindle Fire using LapBandTalk
