OMG..... Sharon... i am so happy for you.... i'm glad you never gave up. I feel your joy.

Great for you, it took me over a year before they would submit my paperwork. The 6 months had to be consecutive. I had surgery this past Monday.

Congrats! I love my band! I was banded 4.5 years ago and have lost 90 pounds and just had a tummy tuck, lower body lift and breast lift. The band changed my life and I wish you the same success.

Good luck to you!

Man, I always feel horrible for people who have to fight the insurance companies for approval.

From my seminar to surgery was 2.5 months. So insurance fell somewhere in there, lol.

Comgrats, though!!!

Congrats sharonk and bravo! You both are about to embark on a life changing experience! I wish you both the best.

Thanks again!

Since Surgery is right around the corner, i just ordered my favorite protien powder to replenish my pantry. 2 weeks of shakes may just drive me mad but i've fought tooth and nail to have this done so i best make the most of it! (can i still complain every now and again though ..he he)

Now i just need to take a before picture...that's going to be hard since i have avoided cameras for at least the past couple years! EEEK!

I wish i would have taken better before pictures.... and continued taking them in the same outfit.

Most of us "fluffy" people avoid camera. My husband is a part-time photographer.... and every time he would take one i would make him delete it..... Now i'm glad he kept a few.

I remember after i got approved.... i ate every thing i could....lol..... it was another version of the good the bad and the ugly....hehe. I will chat with you later.... have a great weekend

Im doing the Happy Dance for all of you ! Way to hang in there !! Iv been banded since last December, down 47 lbs ( and still losing ! ) and feel 100 % better. Wish id known aboutt the band years ago, its so worth it. Recovery and surgery was a breeze, the last 6 months have gone by so quick and easy. Hope yours goes well !! Good luck !
