I AM APPROVED!

I called the ins. co. today ( I have been calling 2x a day lately) and the rep. told me that the letter was being mailed today.

I called surgeon's office and I have a band date of Sept.9 , holla!

Thank you all for your prayers.

FYI: it took approx: 2 1/2 weeks to get approval. (not bad considering they lost some of my info.)

Congratulations April.....I'm so very happy for you and jealous at that same time. I know my time will come but dang....this six month period is killing me..okay back to you. You go GIRL. I knew it was just a matter of time ..... You need to go buy your little black inspiration freakum dress for the holidays... Again Congratulations

WHAT!!!! There is no stopping you now Ms. Thing. Must do a dance for you too!

You need to go buy your little black inspiration freakum dress for the holidays

Hmmm I have been eyeballing this dress at babyphat.com and I really really want it, although I can't fit it yet (not even close, I don't have a band yet). I'm sure it will be sold out by the time I lose the weight. The dress is 69.00 you guys think I should buy it now for inspiration?

thanks yall for the prayers and well wishes.

Sxevan: how much longer do u have. U know I did the six visits. Actually seven because of a scheduling mix up.

angel: when do u get banded ? I say do what's on your heart. Most of us have been neglecting ourselves for so long now its our time to shine.

CONGRATS APRIL!!!:thumbup:

Best of luck to you!!!

Angel -

YEP! go buy it.....so when it's 97 degrees and 95% humidity and you don't want to work out....the dress can give you a little push in the right direction.

Congrats April!!!!! And Angel - buy it girl!

April ~Congrats!!!

Angel ~ Buy it girl...great inspiration and goal.

:lol:Congratulations to you! That's great news!

What???/:thumbup::thumbup::smile: I am happy for you! Iknow you are happy to be over that hill. You will do great!

Angel... you better buy that dress and hang it in the front of your closet for inspiration. I recently joined the gym and was working out on the stepper and was tired (it was the last of three machines) my goal was 15 minutes each and I tell you that third machine after two minutes I was beat. But I closed my eyes and kept saying "skinny body, skinny body, skinny body) and finished my last 15 minutes.....LOL

April..my six months is up on September 3rd..so I'm right behind you. My plan is to schedule my nutrionist appointment on September 3rd and Surgeon Appt on Sept 4th..Do I sound pressed ....

I know what you mean, girl I scheduled psychologist and dietition on July 30 at 9 and 11am. Then I leave for my family reunion for a week. Hopefully my approval can be submitted while I am gone.

Congratulations April

I am so happy for you. I am getting there one appointment at a time.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Congratulations April, it won't be long now and I am very envious.

I pray that everyone who is so close to being banded will either have a date or be banded by the end of august. claim that with me ya'll. i ain't no holy roller but i know that God will move some things around so that a blessing can take place!:scared2:

I pray that everyone who is banded will have a wonderful banded experience and reach all goals and milestones:smile2:

Sorry ya'llI am feeling a little bit sentimental and a whole lot grateful!
