    Banded 6/21/2010

    Thanks for the advice. I may ask if I could be set up with a payment plan to pay the additional monies. I just feel cheated because I should not have to pay any more than what I was told up front. I even thought about changing doctors at the very last minute. I really hope you feel better and you continue to do well.
  3. I do understand what you mean about this site. It has been a very encouraging place for me to go to relate to others who are experiencing some of the same issues or concerns I am. The information on this site is priceless to me. I really do appreciate all of the feed back and encouragement from the other member on this site. Continue to be encouraged and may God bless you on this lapband journey.

  4. Thank you so much! I am soooooo excited to finally know I will be banded. Thanks for you prayers. Everything is finalized and approved.

  5. Thank you so much for your encouraging words.

    The long road home!

    This has been a very long process with me getting to this point. I called my insurance company today, and after 35 days I have finally been approved. There were a couple of days that me, my doctor’s office and the insurance company was playing fax tag. Thank God it was all cleared up. Some documents had to be resubmitted, but all and all it’s all over the waiting game is too. I was given my pre-certification number (BX8MSVK1) SWEET! I really don't know how I feel to actually know this is really going to happen for me. I have read so many other people’s site speak about their experiences, but today is my day to celebrate my "Great" news! Thank God for being so good to me throughout this entire process. Everything has gone very smooth but the road has been very long. My date to be banded has been set for July 21st and my pre-op is on the 14th at 1pm. I will get all the information I will need to know leading up to my actual date. Today I started my sugar buster diet and it is not as bad as I thought. However, this is my first day on this diet. I am just so excited to know my journey is just about to take a big turn for the better. One of my good friends I met on the Lap band site recently had her procedure done. That is a really big advantage for me, because she is able to give me some personal insight on does and don'ts! The days leading up to my surgery will be very exciting ones for me. I can not wait for my life to take one of the biggest turn around ever. All I can say is God is truly good to me. Thank God! :frown:
  7. I just wanted to let you know I have been approved by my insurance company for the band. My surgery is set for July21st. I am soooooo excited and thank you for all of your prayers. This day has finally come for me to be banded. It is a very happy and exciting feeling.

  8. Ms. CoCo,

    Today is your day, and I can not wait to hear how everything went this morning. When you feel up to it please let me know how you are doing "Girl"! Ooooooooh am so jealous, but very happy for you. Talk with you very soon.

  9. Hi Janet,

    I just wanted to see how everything was going with you. So far my insurance company has not made a decision on my procedure. I really don't want to worry why they are taking so long, but I guess soon enough I will get an answer. I can't wait to experience the band life. I really need a positive change in my life. Lately so many unexpected things have been going on with me and my family, but God is always my comforter when things don't make any sense and I have no answers for why. I will keep you updated if things change with me. You really look great.

  10. Hello CoCo,

    I can only imagine how nervous but exciting these hours must be for you right now. I can not wait until I am in your shoes. Just stay focused on the big picture, and remembers why you are making all of these sacrifices. You are going to do just fine tomorrow, and my prayers and with you and your family. When you feel up to it, please let me know how everything is going. Thanks so much for your support and encouragement!

  11. My prayers are with you and everything is going to work out just fine on your big day.

  12. Hi CoCo,

    You are so welcome and I know things are going to work out for you, because you are a smart and focused person with more strength than you give yourself credit for. God will give you strength and the balance you need to make all the right decisions. My prayers are with you in the days to come.

  13. I know just how you were feeling with the long wait ahead of you. I started my process on the 1st of January, and I felt like that was the longest 6 months ever but it came to an end. I do believe great things come to those who wait on them. That keeps me patience and focused on the great things to come (band). Please keep me up dated on your success. Be blessed and remain focused.

  14. I pray all goes well with you and your new baby. That must be a very exciting time for your entire family.

  15. Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. I will really need it for some other unexpected things that have arrived in my life. I do know from experience prayer is the one thing that can change any situation or prepare us to handle things we must face. Again, you are always such an inspiration and uplifting person. Again, thanks.

  24. Good evening Ms. CoCo,

Girl, you are ready and everything will be just fine! All these months of giving support and encouragement to everyone else is finally going to pay off for you. God said: whatever we give out to others it will surely come back to us. That was one of the main reasons I felt that giving connection with you from the very beginning. You are a loving and supportive person and it's your time now! Be patient because the best is yet to come for you (smile)!
