I attended the seminar in October 2009, I didnt get to see the surgeon until Dec 9, 2009. After that I attended all the monthly meetings, saw the surgeon 4 times, saw the nutritionist 4 times, and had the mental health evaluation. I dont know what took so long because my insurance only required 3 months of supervised diet. As soon as they put in the paperwork to BCBS a week later I was approved...I was approved in June 2010 and that is when they called me to tell me my date was set for July 13.

Aweseome! Am sending you best wishes!! Be sure to get up and walk around as much as you can after the surgery (when your Dr says it's OK) b/c that will help with the pain from the gas they use. I was surprised by how easy the surgery was and hope you will be too.

Write down your measurements tonight & take some before pics if you haven't already!

Best wishes for an easy recovery and lots of success!

Hi everyone, thanks for all your replies. I had the surgery on July 13th and everything went well. The pain was not as bad as I thought it would be. The first 2 days I had the gas pains, but nothing the medication couldn't handle. I went back to work yesterday and I feel great. Started Mushies today and Oh do they taste so good.
