what a motivational story. I often wonder (or let me say people make me wonder) if I am making the right decision and I know in my heart that I am. Thanks for sharing your success!

Congrats!!! I have Aetna as well and they re-evaluate every 30 days so keep an eye on that.

I have AETNA and I was just informed that I am approved. I have delayed the actual surgery until I come back from our family reunion in August but my official surgery date is August 14, 2013. Sooooo excited

You're more patient than I would have been. BAND ME NOW BAND ME NOW is what I would have been chanting. Lol. Never give insurance companies a chance to change their mind!

Congrats and best of luck to you!

Reversible, least invasive and I would die before my time from morbid obesity.
My sister had Gastric Bypass, lost all her weight and gained it all back.
With any wls, the surgery is just a tool to help you. You have to be committed to making the lifestyle change.
Good Luck on your wl journey!

Well I can tell you this, once you have the band and adequate Fluid in it, taking smaller bites and chewing thoroughly becomes a lot easier once you've stuck lol. Being stuck is no fun and sometimes even painful. For most of us, it's our first stuck episode that really gets us to start taking smaller bites and chewing our food until mush. It's not something we ever want to experience again.
A lot of people find using baby utensils helpful to practice smaller bites. There's even different apps or your smart phone that are made to help you eat slower.
Btw, you're doing a good thing to start thinking about stuff like bite size in advance. You'll do great

Aww thanks for saying that. Im in tears.
