Good luck today everyone. I'm in the hospital, in my gown, just waiting to get this show on the road.

My Dr. submitted everything to my insurance before I did any pre-op stuff. The office sent my info into the insurance company right after my consultation and I was approved in less then 2 weeks. My consultation was July 17th, had my psych evaluation, met with Nutritionist, and saw my Dr. again on Aug. 16th and he scheduled my surgery for Sept. 10th. all I have to do it the educational online video and pre-op blood work. I don't know if my insurance was so quick to approve it because I have health issues that they believe will improve and get me off 3 meds I take every day or they just approve people fast. Either way I'm glad it's all approved and we are ready to go.

Thank you so much! That's all I have been doing is reading and asking questions. I just think I am going to have these anxieties until i get the band and see for myself what is going to happen. I and so ready to start my new life and change the way I do a lot of things in my life.

Hi Yankee, I'm not banded yet. Hopefully late Sept. I would suggest reading Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies. It was a great read and it covers WLS from beginning to end. It also has great recipes. It's worth reading.
