My surgery is in March...March 5th. I am still a little nervous too. I was waiting on ins. They denied first then we resubmitted and they approved so it was not fun while waiting....Iwas so nervous and unsure while waiting that I finally just said..OK lord I am giving this up to you if you want me to do this you are going to clear away the obstacles (ie insurance approval and my fears) and until then I am going to be a positive and proactive with my health...next day they called and said my inusrance approved it. There was a mistake in the original paper work. Don't know if any of you are religious but if you are prayer can help. Thanks for starting the thread hopefully we can support each other and make it through. I start my pre-op diet Feb. 15! My Birthday is this weekend so I am feeling like one last hooray before my life makes a change. You with regards to eating disorders I have one I am bulimarexic (not sure of spelling but it means both) Mostly right now I am a binge eater. I was never a purger as in vomiting. I asked my doc why would this work for me when nothing else has...He said because when you make a mistake it will be small because you will only have a small stomach. That really helped me. Hope to hear from all of you soon.

I'm a teacher too and was planning on taking two weeks. Glad to hear you thought it was worth it.

I wasn't sure where to post this but my doctors office told me today that my insurance company reversed their decision and they have approved it. I am set for March 5th for my surgery!!!! I am excited and nervous but feel this is truly the right decision for me. Thanks for listening!! Glogirl

:peep: Can any one tell me about the liquid protein that comes in a test tube or little plastic tube?? I've seen it mentioned but now cant find where I saw it. Thanks Glogirl

I am so excited for you. Which ins do you have? and maybe my date won't be too far behind ya. Glo:clap2:

GiGlesTX, I am currently in the process of going through the pre prep program with Dr. Smith in FW. My insurance company requires this. I really like him and the office. Hopefully I will be approved in early Dec. Glogirl

Wow puddinpie you look fantastic. I am hoping to have the band done in December have to do the pre prep program for insurance to pay so have to wait till then. I am currently 316 and it has been great reading this thread to know 100 lbs or more is possible. If you could give one piece of advice what would you say. Thanks

Looks like I will join the club around dec. Right now just trying to find helpful information.
