I finally joined today after lurking for a while! I just found out this week that I was approved for the lap band

It's been a quick journey since I decided to start,

9/27 I got the referral from my PCP to the surgeon

10/13 I went to the "seminar" which was actually a one-on-one because no one else showed and then they submitted my packet for approval

Then just two days ago (yes, 5 days after the seminar!) I got word that the surgery had be approved! I have my first actual appointment with the surgeon today and will hopefully get a surgery date! It's happening so fast which really makes me excited! I thought for sure after reading so many stories on here that it would be a long process, potentially with a supervised diet since I have BS CA *** but I actually have a copy of the the surgery approval in my hands! Unreal!

I can't wait for this to happen!

Thanks for the welcome! The PA said the band should work really well for me and I just need to loose 10 lbs before surgery! Now we are just waiting for the lab results before setting my surgery date!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
