Just got word this morning Cigna finally approved!! Surgery date is April 16

Looks like we are having surgery the same day. For me the 6 months went pretty fast.

Good luck to you.

I was banded Monday and doing great. I posted more details in the springers group but wanted to share I'm on my way to a speedy recovery!

OK...this is my first time writing here. My surgery date is April 18th and I'm on my second day of the pre-op diet. I know I shouldn't complain because I am allowed to eat chicken breast and non starchy vegetables if I cook them in broth. I know this is bette than being on the liquid diet...but it's still difficult. I'm a stress eater and of course things are going crazy right now for me. But I am determined to get through this. I'm nervous about the life change that is going to occur after the surgery, but I am excited also. I've never been this heavy before, but I've always been overweight. I need to lose about 150 pounds. Good luck to all of us.

I just had surgery on the 4th. So far so good. Trying to follow the rules exactly. Would love suggestions on things to eat for the mush stage...

I would LOVE support too! I'm so excited but really nervous that I will fail at this too (

I did alot of reading on this web site before getting my band. I read the positives and the negatives. AND I vowed to myself that I was not going to be a failure!! Abide by all of your surgeons rules and the band will work for you!! My surgeon gave me a book that his nurse made for all his patients...with food stages, Vitamins to take, etc!! I hope that you will have some sort of lapband bible to retain to...good luck to you ladies that are getting banded soon!! I just had my final fill today...as I am almost 2 years post op. Surgeon told me that by now there should be no more fat around my esophagus...if I was to go any tighter, he would be choking my esophagus!! So, this is it for me...my last fill was too much, took out 1 cc 6 mths ago, and put back in .6cc...I should now be at my sweet spot!! We shall see....
