Yaaaaaaaayyyy I called the insurance company today & I was approved. My surgery date is Dec. 27th. Going to start my pre-op diet today with Sugar Busters Diet.....any suggestions anyone?!?!

Congratulations on being approved!!

Thanks msmarylou!!!!

YAY!! Grats! it is so exciting and life changiing! Get a good protein shake.. I have the cytrosport chocolate from costco.. its "ok" I use water/silk and add a half banana and it is soo yummy! the shake without the banana is alright.. I hear unjury is very good!

Congratulations!. Means you'll probably have to fast during Christmas season. I started 2 months early from band date to lose 34 pounds prior to band day. For the doctors fast, I was suppose to lose 12 pounds and I lost 20 pounds prior to surgery. Just yesterday (Dec 11) I had my third fill of 1cc.I had to beg for this fill because i met his 2 pounds per week poal. I probably won't get any more fills. He's very conservative docotr. He wants you to attack your weight problem and not rely on the band. He says 2 pounds a week is great. If you lose lots more, NO fills.

Best wishes

CONGRATS!!!!!

Congratulations! Stick around here for support, knowledge & inspiration.

Someone on the forum said to write a letter to yourself on why LBS is important to you and what you expect from it. Then when times get tough, which it will, you can go back and remind yourself why you wanted this. Thought that was a good idea.

You have to have WANT POWER!

Best Wishes!

Congratulations!!

Thanks Destynee1!!! I will take your suggestion on the protein shake into consideration...
