Finally!!

My name is Megan and I'm new on here. I just found out today that I'M APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited as this was my second time submitting. Oh, but it was sooooo worth the wait!!!

I just feel like I'm going to explode with happiness!! I don't think I've been this happy since my daughter was born 2 years ago.

Our local support group is tonight at 5:30. I can't wait to go and tell the group that I'll soon be banded like them!!!:smile2::w00t:

Congrats! The day I got my approval call I just couldn't believe it was actually going to happen! Good luck!!

  • 3 weeks later...

Congratulations!

How are things? Do you have a surgery date?

I know what it feels like to be denied and finally get approved. I fought for almost a year to get my band!

I hope everything goes well, and you'll be a bandster soon!

This is day 8 of my 10 day protein liquid diet. Sx is Thursday. Pre-op call is tomorrow and pre-op dr visit. I'm getting anxiously excited!! Diet has been tough, but doing okay.

MadysMom-

I too am having surgery on Thursday and just today received final approval from my insurance company.

The surgical team had me doing all of the pre-op procedures without really knowing if I would actually get approved. All that I kept thinking was what if I get denied and I have been on this pre-op liquid diet for the LAST 12 DAYS! Talk about pissing off a hungry fat woman!

I wish you good luck on Thursday. May we both breeze through surgery without any complications!

Congratulations and good luck with surgery Thursday!!!

I, too, am being banded on Thursday. I still can't believe it is only 3 days away! Good luck to all of us who are being banded that day...

Congratulations Ladies! I was thrilled when I got approved and I don't regret my decision at all. I would get banded all over again if I had to. I am so excited for you!
