I see mine as a long term sucess; I can tell you that I've working out in the gym doing one hour classes 4-5 days a week, some times I stay for 2 clasees= 2 hrs workout for almost a year now and I have only lost 22 pounds so sar and I am so happy about it. It is like my trainer always says, it took more than a month-more two months -more three months to put the weight on, so don't expect to lose it in a month or two, its going to take time for your body to use all accumulated fat. Thats whats keeping me motivated. My goal is to lose an extra 75-80 punds and I dont care if that takes me two to three years to acomplish.

Mine is July 3rd, (still waiting from insurance approval tho) but so excited.. Can wait to start my jurney.. Lets keep everybody updated and motivated with all the results..

Wow how nice is that, we were on the same boat. I hope to get my call soon :/.. Btw congratulation.... Let's keep us posted with all result..

Wow this is great, good luck to both of you.. What type of surgery you guys had?

I am so excited everything is coming so fast, all these test and clearance are coming to the end now. I will be having final pre-op testing this coming Saturday and final visit with surgeon next week. My pre-op diet starts on June 25th (only one week for me luckily) and the big day is scheduled to be on July 3rd; however I still have not received the magic call (to let me know I am approved by insurance BCBS NJ) but hoping to get it soon. I would like to know from your experience about the pre-op diet, if you guys did only shakes/ liquids or how your diet looks like?? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks!!

Aww all these replies make me feel so good now. I hope this will be the case for me as well. Thanks for the feedback..

Fingers crossed for us..

Can anyone from NJ with Blue Cross Blue Shields insurance tell me how long did it take for the insurance to approve the surgery? I am getting bit nervous because I am schedule for surgery on July 3rd and I will finish with all the requirements test on June 13th and I dont know if it will be approved on time.. Any advice will be greatly appreciated..

Aww congrats, have you done all the test? @ goalhealthymom

Great job, thanks for sharing..

I'm getting banded July 3rd, but a bit nervous cause my last test will be June 13th to complete with all the requirements to submit to the insurance and I don't know if it will be approved before the big day..
