I received the "Lap Band Companion" book in the mail yesterday afternoon and have already read ALL of it, as well as re-reading other parts of it. I have decided to "pretend" I have either already been approved by Cigna for the surgery, or that I am post banding, which means I am trying to measure food, chew 30 times, not consume water 30 mins to 1 hr. before meals, etc. Hopefully, I can shape my own behavior so that WHEN I am approved (how's THAT for optimism?), I will be that much farther along. More later...

Making behavioral changes now will certainly help you later on. Exercise will make your recover easier as well as help you continue to lose weight. I hope you get the approval quickly and start on your very special journey.

Bklynike - Thanks for the encouragement. I really know I can do this. I always can GET the weight off, just don't seem able to KEEP it off. I feel this is the last weight loss event I will need to do, and just learn to have a new/different relationship with food from band on out...
