My surgeon was very understanding about it. And i don't have to jump through any hoops to get approved. I'm so thankful. It was depressing sorting thru the smaller clothes today. But also a relief that I won't have to buy some for a bit

I moved from NYC to md so I have a new surgon so I have to go through all the hoops all over again

I had my lapband removed last year and put five stone on so cannot wait either

YEA!! Someone I can relate to!! Nice that you don't need to start your liquid diet till the 23! I started mine this past Monday. Going good so far!! I'm so ready for this surgery, food is not even an issue right now. Don't even want anything other than my liquid. (lost 6# so far)

Where are you from? I'm in Northern Wisconsin.

Nice to meet you,
