I'm waiting also.:cry I changed my insurance to UHC because they are supposed to be so speedy in providing approval. Well...I guess they they knew I was anticipating this and changed their policy to include hoop jumping and slowness in the approval area. I'm waiting though and have put myself on hopefully my last diet :hungry: without the use of the lap band tool. What I have found to be appealing is the fact that this time has given me the opportunity to grow more knowledgeable about eating and what to expect in aftercare after I am finally gotten banded. I have no doubt that I am getting the band.:clap2:
