  1. Hi All, My name is Leanne and I've been mostly lurker here for the past few months. I started this process in May with the seminar. I've done my psych and nutrition and have been waiting on insurance approval for the past month. Well the letter came today and my insurance has approved! Now I'm starting to freak out! My dilemma is that we have a vacation scheduled to Playa Del Carmen in Mexico October 11. Doctor can do the surgery as early as August 29th (my birthday) this will give me exactly 6 weeks healing time prior to my vacation. I guess I freaking out cause it is happening so fast! I know I really want this but I only have 2 weeks to mentally prepare for it and now I'm freaking out. I'm also freaked out about any complications that may arise which might jeopardize the vacation. I have to be able to swim with my kids in the pool. So how did you all feel 6 weeks out, would you have been up for a 5 day trip to Mexico? Also, I will not be getting my first fill prior to going on the trip.
  2. I am currently in the process of getting my band and I will be using Dr. Smith. I'm waiting on insurance decision which should be anyday now so I can scheduled my surgery :clap2:
