Wooo Hooo...... I just got my insurance approval!!!!! Just waiting now for my surgery date.

It has been a long six months of jumping through hoops but now I am already on my sugar busters and sitting on ready.

Congratulations.

Excellent! So happy for you. I am four months out as of yesterday. It was definitely a process -- started in June last year and had my surgery in November. But so worth every single one of those hoops! Best wishes. And spring, what a great time for renewal.

By the way, I was really happy I upped my exercise regime so I had something to step into right after banding. I think all the walking helped make me a better patient and helped me heal up quickly. Good luck on the Sugar Busters. You're going to do beautifully!

Thank you Bandista.... I have been excersing too. Thinking like you, that it will make me a better patient.

Congrats! I went thru hell too. I ended up doing 10 months because I had to start over with the 6 mos hoop because I had two appointments too close to gether but in different months. That SUCKED! But I finally got it all done and approved and had the band Dec. 2007. I was 250, went to 150 and now at 170 and happy! Trying to loose 10 lbs now. I got off track this fall.

Lumpy,

Congrats on your success and for sharing. Stories like your have kept me motivated to not get frustrated with all the pre-surgery antics. I knew (and know) going into this it was a marathon and not a sprint. Wishing you continued success!!!
