Hey, I just got my date...Sept 17th! Anyone getting banded next month?

You'll do great msjessy!!

Thanks for the words of encouragement! Glad to hear you're doing so well. My family feels I'm throwing in the towel considering I've been able to lose large amounts of weight in the past. But like I keep telling them "I refuse to gain and lose the same 100lbs over and over again." My mom has pretty disowend me but I think she and the rest of the family will come once they see my success. Since this will only push me to work that much harder. My surgery date has been scheduled for 9/17/08 and I just can't wait!

Good luck with everything! Just got my date today...September 17th!

Hi Bandsters! I just joinned today! I've been doing alot of research on the procedure and after struggling with it I decided last month to get the band :Banane37:. This is against the wishes of my mom, best friend and rest of my family. But I know whats best for me. Soooo...I've completed all my tests and evals and am now waiting for insurance approval. Anyone have any exerperience with getting approval from United Healthcare? I didn't go through a six month WL program but had alot of Dr's recommendations and paperwork so I'm hoping for the best since I have a WHOLE lot of weight to loose! P.S. I'm exited to be here!

Thanks! I just regret listening in the first place and having waiting so long. But how did the surgery go? How long are you planning for recovery?

I have UH too. Did they require you to complete a 6 month WL program? How long did the approval take?

Anyone from the NJ/NY area?
