Just approved last week can't wait to get started. Now I'm afraid!! Hope that what I've been wishing for is going to work!!:eek:

Yea! I just got approved last week too. I will be banded April 10th. Feels like forever, but I'm sure it will be here in no time! When is your surgery date? I think it will be worth the wait...it certainly can't be worse! Good luck!

Not scheduled yet waitng for my call

Congrats!!

I found out today that I was approved too!!! I have to wait til I get my letter from the insurance company then I make a preop appt.. I will get my surgery date then..

CONGRATS to you all!! I just had my band 3 weeks ago tomorrow. It is very exciting! Read around this sites. In my short 3 weeks I have learned so much about my expectations and reality. If I could offer any advice (what limited amount I have to offer) PLEASE do NOT get discouraged if something weird happens (like you gain weight eating only 300 calories a day). It happens and I guarantee there are 400 posts up here about people experiencing the same things you all might encounter. Just remember that after the swelling goes down your band is not filled and truly doens't "work" until it is about 6 weeks post-op. Don't give up or think you should be losing more. Everyone's body is different. The band is so worth it! It is hard work, but it will happen. Good Luck, and keep reading!

I'm all done can't believe it happened so fast. Just a little sore and trying to get used to the protein shakes. Yeah on my way!!!

Wow, Sarah, that was fast! Last we knew of you were waiting on a date and here you are an official bandster already! Congratulations girl!

Cool! Im in the same boat. Hurry up and wait lol!

Congrats to all on being approved...and to those who have already been banded! Can't wait to be there with you!!!
