everytime i look at the before and after pics thread, i start to cry. i mean, i can't wait to post my pics post surgery! it just makes me realize that i will have my life back and that i made the right decision....=)

i am not banded yet but hope to be next month. i am 24 yrs old and weigh 271. i started at 285 before my 6 month program. hope to chat with all of you soon!

I just got my tentative date of feb 26th. i started 6 months ago at 285 lbs. im 271 now. my goal is at least 150. i'm glad they started this new sections of threads. hope we can encourage each other!

good for you! hope everything goes well! last night in "life before band!" good thoughts your way!

I called insurance today. they said its still pending, but my surgeon's office has my tentative date scheduled for feb 26th! yea! now my nerves are really shot! i can't get the butterflies out! i can't imagine how i will feel with a concrete approval!

not for sure what your docs will say, but mine told me jenny craig, weight watchers, anything else like that DOESN'T count. its not medically supervised. sorry! hope you get a different answer!

my paperwork was submitted yesterday, so i hope i hear back soon! i had all my paperwork and my 6 month program is all done! wish me luck.

My paperwork to my insurance was sumitted yesterday! yea! my 6 month program was up yesterday. i lost 14 lbs. not bad. she said i did good. wish me luck. i'll let you guys know!

:clap2: good for you! how great! congrats...it must be an awesome feeling. hopefully i'll post this same post in the next couple of weeks.

well, i had my eye opening experience the other day. i have lost 10 lbs on my 6 month medically supervised diet, but i have started to gain again. anyway.......my boyfriend and i went to burger king for lunch ( i know, bad in itself) and i had a king size whopper meal. not good to begin with....but then i still wasn't satisfied so i had ANOTHER value meal in the same sitting!!! i have never done that before. that was basically the end for me. im so glad i decided to get the band. my paperwork is being submitted in 2 weeks, so hopefully they say yes. anyway..just thought i would share. what was your eye opening experience??? thanks for letting me vent.

i was up watching tv at 1am this morning, and decided i was wasting precious time.....so i got up and went to the gym. i was on the treadmill for one hour! i did 2.5 miles! yea! my knees and back hurt a little (because i never exercise!) but i feel good. im glad i did it.

well, they have to wait for your sleep study results to come back to submit that to insurance too. they won't submit it until EVERYTHING is in their hands to send. Otherwise, the insurance will likely deny due to not all the evidence submitted. good luck.
