I just got the good news!

I just got the good news that my lap band surgery has been approved by my insurance company!! This was my second try and I was really nervous, but they came through this time!

So now the hard work begins. I've done all my preliminary appointments so now the next appointment with my surgeon and the two weeks of liquid diet and I should be ready to go!

I have a big family reunion at my house on August 2. How much recovery time will I need before having 35 of my husbands closest relatives for 5 days?

Should I wait and do the surgery afterwards?

Hi there. I think the docs usually say to give yourself two weeks. Everyone is different but I definitely needed those two weeks to get myself adjusted to the band and my new life. Best of luck!

congrats on your approval. I just got approved also, but please don't try to over do it, even if it does mean waiting.

COngratulations, that was the best phone call I ever got thats for sure. I wouldn't put off your surgery I would just put your husband to work helping with the guests. Do you have friends or family that will be there that you could delegate the majority of the tasks out to ? Give each person something little to do and it will save you alot of headache. I would recommend this even if you're not having surgery haha
