Hi everyone. My insurance has approved me and now I am waiting for the surgeon's office to call me with a date. I am hoping to be banded in September. I hope I can join the group. I love the support everyone gives each other. I am not a very patient person and this process sure does test it, buy reading everyone's posts lets us know we are not alone.

I'm so glad this board has picked up. My BMI is 36. I don't have a date yet. My paperwork is getting submitted to the insurance tomorrow. I really want to get approved, and at the same time so nervous. I've heard that with my insurance once approved I could get the surgery in a few weeks. They do not have many requirements. Good luck to all who will be banded soon and keep us posted. Thanks to all who have been banded and letting us know what to expect.

Hi Everyone! I am a September Sweetie hopeful. I just had my psych eval today. He gave me the clearance to take to surgeon's office. I didn't have time because I needed to rush back to work, but I called them and they told me to fax it in and that she would send paperwork to insurance tomorrow. My insurance does not require a six month diet. I don't know how long the approval will take, but I am thinking it should be before the end of September. I haven't gone to my nutritional class. Do you know if that is done after the insurance approves? I have been reading everyone's posts, comments, questions, and answers and I am addicted! Thanks for reading.

Wow! It sounds like everything has been going so smooth for you and that is great. You are th first I hear to go back to work on Monday. My doctor says he would do the surgery on Thursday, and I could go back to work on Monday, but after reading most post/blogs that didn't seem reasonable. You have given me hope! Glad to hear you are doing so well. Keep us posted.
