Onamissionn2012 Thanks for the encouragement its good to know there are tons of other people out there going through this same process! Started this journey in October also and praying for a Feb surg date.. Happy V-Day/ Surg to you and God Bless everyone!!

@Kileybug34 how long did your insurance approval process take? I have Federal BCBS and it seems to be taking a long time everytime I call still in review. Its only been 7 business days but it feels like a month!!...

Good luck & God Bless keep us posted!

@ AbbieL welcome! Do not feel bad because you only want to lose 90 lbs that's my goal also I am only 5'2 so I know how it feels to have all of this extra weight on such a small frame.. No one is here to pass judgement only to Support each other!! Congrats to you on your miracle baby I am sure God willing you will have another 1 or 2

@kvr1977 good for you for not giving up!! You will have an amazing reward for your patience & determination!! Good Luck to all of you Feb13 Bandisters!!

@Candace awesome date good luck to you and your weight loss goals!

@Wnch911 what a nice Valentines Day gift!! whoo hoo for cruises this will be my first cruise! I to have a very active two year old so I know what you mean

Those are great goals its the little things to others that we will be the most proud of! Don't forget to reward yourself for small goals I chose a new coach bag for the first 20-30 and clothes at about 50lbs!

That's awesome keep me posted with your upcoming band date!

Awesome plans I to am planning a Fall cruise in Sept or Oct I can't wait to be on a beach in a swim suit!!

@aufan I have only told my closets family members and a few friends also I think that once I see the results maybe I will tell more people but its really a private and personal experience so don't feel bad if you keep it a secret!

@ATX_Veg I'm so excited to try on bathing suits and dresses Lord knows I have avoided those for way too long!

I will be banded next month by Dr. Neal any insights or advice???

This is great.. Can't wait till I join the Feb13 BandWaggon... will find out my tenative date on Monday!! Pros about getting a Feb Band that I keep telling myself to get through the pre-op appointment phase 1. You bypass the holidays 2. Its winter and cold so by the time your able to work out it again it should hopefully feel like Spring 3. && by the time its summer you will be looking GREAT!! Good Luck Everyone!!

Congrats on your upcoming journey's I have done all of my pre op Nut/Psych eval and will see my Dr on Mon 21st I am hoping to join you all in the Feb13 Banders Club... Whoo Hoo...

Awesome good luck! Can't wait for the results and before & after pics!

I am hoping for Feb I will add you need some friends and new here also!!

** Plus the fact that your only 18 means your body will bounce back and you will look amazing! #jealous

Good luck with your journey, I myself am a mother of two (9&2) and I can't run around with the two year old like I used to with the nine year old! I commend you for taking the steps needed in order to give yourself and your family a better longer healthier life!

I am a fellow FEP BCBS member hoping to receive a quick and painless approval. I have completed PSYCH eval and all but one Nut visit which is coming up next week then I finally meet the surgeon on 1/21/13. I would love to be banded in Feb!! Good Luck to everyone!!
