OMG I have a date with the Lap Band...

I just got a date for October 27th. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time.

I just hope that my insurance co. will approve me.

Keep your fingers crossed for.

Congratulations! Keep yourself busy over the next month so that you don't drive yourself batty waiting for Band Day. Time will fly. Let us know what you hear from your insurance company.

Amy, now's the time to start practising your Bandster habits -- drinking tons of water (but not w/ meals), walking regularly, and getting all your old clothes sorted by size (so you'll have numerous "new" clothes to wear as you drop weight. You better start wearing anything that you like A LOT, because pretty soon you'll have to put them in the "donate" pile. Congratulations and best of luck to you!:)

Thanks you all so much. I have learned so many things from all of you. And just knowing that you all have been there and done that really makes me feel a bit more at ease.

I am going away on the 15th of Oct. The day after I get back will be the day I start my liquid diet.

I just really hope that I am approved. I don't want to have to go through the appeals process.

I was laughing about the clothing thing. I haven't been shopping in 2 years and I wear the same few outfits that I have over and over. I can't wait to get rid of them..lol

Thanks again.

Amy

Amy,

I have my fingers and my toes crossed for you. I would cross my legs if I could.

I am so excited for you.

Let us know how your insurance process goes.

Follow all the good advice you have been given.

The people here are a wealth of info and support.

Wishing you the BEST

Congrats Amy! Looks like we are all going to be tangled up crossing our body parts for you! Good Luck!

Ok you don't have to cross all of your body parts I really do appreciate it though...lol

It sounds more painful than a game of twister.lol

The clothing exchange sounds like a great idea.
