Today is a big day for me because I have been going through this process and preparing for a surgery date. Well today I go in to see the dietitian, and then my paperwork will be submitted to my insurance company. I pray the insurance send back an immediate response. They have already confirmed that I am qualified, so it's just a matter of getting a date. I hope everyone else is doing great, and I am looking forward to moving closer to my destiny!!

Best wishes, here's hoping to see "less" of you soon!!Welcome to :the band" and keep us updated on your journey! Karen

Thank you! I definitely will!

Good luck.

I've had times when I wished I hadn't done this. ('Thats normal I think) But overall, I'm glad. I've been very lucky, the wt has come off easy. I'm 5 lbs from goal. Actually my lap band Dr told me to stop losing but when I pointed out my BMI is still in the "over weight " side he said 5 lbs and thats it. So, expect ups and downs. Drink LOTS of H2o. 6-8 glasses aday. And follow the rules.

Congratulations on your Big Day today! I my information was sent to the insurance company on last week so I am pretty much at the same phase you are! Best of luck and success with the band. We will have to keep in touch... Wishing you the best
