I'm starting to feel like it's going to happen! My next office visit is July 1 and if I can lose 5 lbs by then we can submit insurance paperwork... they said about 1-2 weeks on average for approval... and then about 3-4 weeks to get on the surgery schedule... so in 10 weeks I could have my band!!! Also did some calling to insurance and the hospital and have figured my part of the bill after insurance should be around $1500... which is SO MUCH LESS than I was imagining! I was wondering if I'd have to take out a 401k loan (which was supposed to be for our wedding next summer- so I had already in my mind toned down the wedding... I may keep it toned down and save the cash...)
So I'm starting to feel excited!!! :Dancing_biggrin:
