So I went to my first appt on jan 14th..met with the nutritionist and the PA...the appt took about 3 hours...then on jan 17th met with the psychologist...got the paper work for his approval on i think jan 24th...waited until the 29th to have the PA call me back saying the psych eval was good enough for them as well...had my appt on feb 4th with the surgeon. jan 31st the docs office submitted to the insurance company...called on the 1st to make sure they got it and just got a call saying i'm approved!!! yay!! so now i have to wait until the docs office opens so that we can set up a date!!

I still need to lose a few more lbs...and fast...any suggestions?

CONGRATS LABS! Your doc will probably put you on a pre-op diet ... to drop some extra pounds to shrink you liver. You will probably be on the diet for about 2 weeks. But congrats girl and I am soooo happy for you. You will be on the banded side soon LOL. GOOD LUCK AND BLESSINGS 2 U!

I take it from your user name you are a labrador retriever lover? I have a chocolate lab and he is my baby, I absolutely adore him!

Yes! I have 2 labs a chocolate and a black lab. and I must admit my chocolate lab is my baby! he's always right by myside. Our black lab is alot more independent and only wants attention when she wants it but our chocolate is an attention hog and he needs constant love! must be a male thing!
