I down load infor right before I started my workout just to see how much I would burn with the dvd.

I think you should find out from your Dr. if they require a pre opt and start it now so when you get approved you can already be ready that's what I did so you don't have to wait any longer.

Wow, the grocery bill is so much LESS!
before I got the band I would go to Applebees and eat a sampler (contains 6 wings, mozz. sticks spinash dip and chips) and I would eat the main course steak shrimp, mashed potatoes, and veggies, and lots of soda , no I order off the kids menu and can't eat all of it. my bill usually $50.00 now $20.00

Filled 6 Times And Still Not Losing
I am post opt 1 1/2 months and down 36lbs and no restriction but I do follow the high protein diet and exercise 35-45 min 6 days a week I have been losing 2-4 lbs a week since my first fill. Log your food down to make sure of your calorie intake.

How long did you wait for your approval?
yeah they told me that 30 days stuff too....I called every single day I was losing sleep and my mind , I called every morning at 10:00am and on day 7 got the good news I really hope it goes fast for you ,I was also scared because I read thread were people said that they got denied fast and approval took 4 week but I was pressed for time because my Company was changing insurance providers at the end of the year prayers helped me and I will be praying for u guys .
