And today, I'm a little bit closer:

I'm approved!

It was my second try, but it's done, I'm approved! I'm waiting for the surgeon's office to call and schedule me now.

Congratulations! :clap2:

What wonderful news! You've been waiting for awhile, it seems. And you've lost quite a bit on your own before the band. Seems like you've really set youself up for success. Yay!

Thank you both very much! I am trying very hard to adopt a bandster mentality now. I want this to go smoothly.

I hope I'll have a May date, it seems my surgeon's office is scheduling about two to three weeks out (or at least they were when I went for my consult back in March).

Thanks everyone!!

Wow WasaBB, I didn't even realize that! If only I could keep this up, but I know it will only last so long. I need this tool to help me keep up the loss. I'm looking forward to working with it and making the most of it.

I have a date!!! May 31st at 10:30am! Woohoo!

I'm going for pre-admission testing the 9th and to my nutrition class the 10th, then I start my icky two week pre-op diet the 17th. Yeah!

The only thing is the scheduler told me my insurance said something about being concerned with mood swings, though I am approved. I am completely confused. I have never had any problems with mood, I've not been on any meds, I have never been in any counseling nor in any therapy, I have never mentioned depression or elation or had any issues at all. My psych eval was fine (I have a copy) and reccommended me for the procedure. So I called my ins co and spoke with my case manager who has been with me through all of this and she knows nothing about it. She said my approval letter is in the mail to me and it gives no indication about that. I'm really cornfuzzled. And I do not want it on my chart if it is there. Hmmmm....

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
