I was on last week and worried about the stress test but came back normal. I was worried b/c of being diagnosed with sleep apnea - which is good cause I needed the co-morbidity. Just got the news that insurance approved me today. Still doesn't seem real. Still waiting on my surgery date. I hope it will still be in Oct. because this is a great group.

Im having mine on oct 28. Im 5 feet 228#s. Cant wait to stand up without having to adjust my pants over my belly :-)

I can't wait to not have to adjust my pants too!!!!

I did but I also have a band. I went in 2 weeks ago and had my fluid pulled out. I can't believe tomorrow is the big day. EXCITED AND NERVOUS
