Just got the great news today! My insurance will pay for my lap band and the date is March 7th. I am so happy! I have read all the success stories on this site and I can't wait. Thanks for all the continued support as I prepare for my journey.

:whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

:clap2: good for you! how great! congrats...it must be an awesome feeling. hopefully i'll post this same post in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks, I pray that you will be approved. It is a long process but so worth it.

Congratulations!! My surgery date was set for February 19th, but that date didn't work well with my job!! lol

I am currently in the process of waiting until the surgeon's office can reschedule me. I'm hoping for 2/12, 2/13, 2/14, 2/15, 2/26, 2/27, 2/28, or 2/29.

It's tough working around my job responsibilities!! =0

Are you trying to cut back on your food intake now? I know I have to start an all-liquid pre-surgery diet ten days before my surgery date. I decided to go ahead and start cutting back now to "prepare" myself!! lol

I am trying to cut back. I have to catch myself when I am eating. I am a high school teacher and I am having my surgery the Friday we get out for break. I hope that 10 days is enough time to recover. I can not believe I am having this surgery. I better get my behind into gear and prepare for the surgery and lifestyle change.

Good thinking soldier!
