:POMG, I finally got approved on 3/9/2011 and I will be Banded on 3/29/2011. I was originally denied by my insurance carrier and almost gave up on having the procedure all together. I didn't get down about it and my appeal was appproved. I'm ready to start my journey with the rest of the March 2011 Bandsters.
Day 1,2,13, 14 I must have liquids only and days 3-12 1000 calories (includes 1 frozen meal 300 calories or less with liquids). I forced myself to try a liquid diet during my appeal process and it was not bad. Stay busy, keep your supporters/like minded people in your corner and tell all the negative influences where to shove it!
Good Luck everyone!!!!
