You'll will have to keep my excitement down a bit, LOL. I just got approved for Lap Band surgery! Finally, after 5 months of tests and waiting.

Now, the hard part- the meetings. One place lets you do two of them at home, but the first one, you must attend in person. I can handle that, but why do they have them only once a month? So, I have to wait another 3 months before they schedule surgery? Oh, well, that's the breaks. I'll just have to contain my excitement and wait it out a bit longer, until I get my Lap Band. Keep your fingers crossed for me, that this goes smoothly!

Thanks,

Audrey

Are you saying that insurance is going to buy you a band? If so, that's a doubley-whammy CONGRADS to you! Just getting banded is a huge thrill, but not having to pay for it is phenomenal! Good luck to you. The wait is worth it!

Congratulations! The wait is definitely worth it! It took me 8 months to get final approval. Then the surgery was scheduled pretty fast. It cost me about $1000 out of pocket. (Depends on your particular insurance plan.) My surgery included some other fixes not normally included and was billed at $46,000. You've got all the red tape behind you. Better start "getting your ducks in a row". You're getting a band! Yeah!!!

Thankyou, everyone! Yes, my insurance is covering it- as of January 1,2004, they cover this procedure! I am so excited, I am bouncing off of the walls, LOL.

      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.
