I get banded in about 2wks 1/3/12. I have so many thoughts and emotions goin thru me. It usually takes 6 months for my insursnce to get approved, but it took me about 12month. But it was my fault. I didnt change my diet, still eatin wanted. my weight starting 333pounds it then jump to 341. I got myself back on track. And now i weigh 311 yay. I jus wanna get the surgery over with. A new year and a new me jus hope I can do this. I think I can I think I can

If you think you can than your already half way there! Congrats on all the weight loss so far. If that's what you can accomplish without the lapband you'r body fat is about to have a very rude awakening once your banded

Congratulations, you've taken a huge step in changing your life. Keep us updated and don't stop working for that goal!

That's so awesome! That's actually the same exact thing that happened to me...it took me over a year to get where I am right now..because I didn't know I had to have 6 months back to back appointments documented...and I had to cancel an appointment and start ALL over again...I was so upset...but here I am 3 months later and doing GREAT...I started at 329...now I'm 304. I feel just like you...can't wait to just get banded..I am so ready for this! I REALLY can't wait to be under 300 right now...we are both so close! We need to def. stay in contact, we can help each other through!! I am pretty sure I will be getting my surgery in the same week!
