I was banded yesterday too! I slept very little; I couldn't even lie in bed. I slept on and off sitting straight up on the couch. Walking around really helps!! I wish you a speedy recovery!!

I'll be banded on the 24th, too!! Let the countdown begin!!

Yes I am 14days away from a lap band- I live in London

Received insurance approval and my date today!!! Sept. 24th!! Hooray!!

Jumped through my last hoop for my insurance today--pre-op nutrition class--and my doctor will be submitting it to BCBS tomorrow! I should know something next week. Fingers crossed...

I'm shooting for September! Everything is being submitted to insurance today and I'll know the verdict sometime next week. Once approved (fingers crossed), my doctor is going to schedule me right away. My insurance renews Oct. 1st, as does my $4000 copay! He's going to try to get me in before I have to pay that out of pocket. I'm very grateful that he's working with me on this!

Congrats!! Your enthusiasm will be contagious!!

I went to my 3 hour nutrition class today and I feel so much better! This is doable!! I was really beginning to feel like it was going to be so cumbersome. Nancy Lum, the nutritionist, gave us so many great ideas and really broke it down into a manageable "formula" for day to day living. I can do this!!

Please as you Go through out your day always remember that no Matter what you come up against or what come up against you! You are Never Alone!!
The Blessings Always Lies in What You Don't See!!

Hooray for you!

Thank you, Suzi! Roxygirl...what a great idea!
