Found Out Friday That I Got The Approval From The Insurance Co.

I'm so exicted, anxious, scared, happy and everything in between. The 6 month physician supervised diet was probably the longest 6 months of my life. I'm in the early stages of my surgery process but I'm hoping to have it done within the next month! I'm ready to start this new chapter

    Good Luck to you!

    My six months ended in April. I'm going to a nutrition class tomorrow (and a psych doc appt) and then I should be approved and will be banded either at the end of May or start of June.

    Actually I was very lucky I got my approval in 1 1/2 weeks. I was told 4-6 weeks and got the call today.
