I was approved for Lap Band. My surgery is October 6th with Dr. Stephen Malley. I will start my pre-op diet on Sep. 22nd. I am hoping that I do well with it. I am having all sorts of feelings. This is a lot to take in all at once. How did you handle all of the feelings?

I have surgery scheduled for Oct. 13th, so I am right behind you. I have some emotions, but mostly excitement. I feel way overdue. Plus, when I think of all the health risks of being obese it makes me realize this has to be done, as I have not been able to do it alone, for years. I am so ready to start this journey. I hope it runs smoothly for both of us. I am ready to shed the weight and live a new healthy lifestyle! I think the anticipation is most of the emotion I am feeling. Bring it on!

I was approved today as well and we have the same surgery date.....yay us woot woot

So how long was wait from surgeon submittal to approvals?

Congrats y'all...I am post op day 11....
