Newmel, one of my co workers had it done and she said she was ready to come back after 5 days. I'm going to use the entire three weeks of FLMA. I'm going to have my knee scoped as well.

Hey Girl,
Finally finished the 6 month diet on April 9th they submitted to insurance, got the pre certification letter on April 23 and surgery is scheduled for July 1st...I'm excited but wish my surgeon wasn't go busy was hoping for an earlier date but, everything happens when it's suppose to...he's taking two weeks vacation in June and I'll be one of his first surgeries when he cames back....I think I like that...having a recently vacationed surgeon., LOL
Take good care and continue the great work you are doing. I did tell several co-workers but, have not told management just yet.

Take heart, I completed my 6 month diet on April 9th and by April 23 the pre certification letter was in my hot little hands. You will get approved your office has the know-how to document your progress just the way the insurance company wants it to be for submission. Stay focused on your part and the things you can contol and it will happen. My surgery date is July 1, 09....all I have left to do is the EKG, Chest exam. lab work and another physical from my PCP for the surgical release. Which can all be taken care of in one visit. Good luck to you and keep us all posted. Regina

congrats on getting banded. How are you feeling? Did you have support the first couple of days at home...I've been told post op day three is tough? I'll be banded here soon...waiting on insurance approval as I type. One co -worker knows because we shared a room while away at a 2 day conference and she mentioned that she was going through the progress. she was banded on Jan 27. 09 but, besides her and my bff that works on another floor, that's it....keeping private until after the fact.

Babes, it's gonna be great. You have done alot of hard work and made alot of changes and yes, it's a process and the LAP-BAND? is a tool and you will use it to your advantage to let the world see the kathi you see in your heart. I'm so happy and proud of you. I saw the nutritionist today and go some good tips and I see the psyc/behavorial health guy on the 21st...I'm actually thankful for this insurance imposed 6 month diet...it's giving me the time to make the changes necessary for success.
Here's to being healthy skinny bitches in 2009!!!!

Congrats Jody! Keep us all posted on your recovery. What an awesome Christmas present to yourself! -
Thank you, Aprilapple for starting this forum. I'm new to this site as of Nov 22. I'd been thinking about WLS for the last few years and when I got to my heaviest at 297...I said that's it...and that was in the early part of 2008. I finally, meet with a surgeon this fall and I'm in the 2nd month of my 6 month diet and my nutritionist and psyc eval are both scheduled for Jan 09....so, I'm on the path. I live in central PA but, will be banded in Maryland. Feel free to email or pm me. Gina

Hey Trina, I'm Gina and yes, slow and ready wins the race. I feel like I'm not even in the race yet....still doing the supervised diet thing...so, you are way ahead of me and well on your way to some sexy little black dress!
Central PA...the sticks....I'm about an hour west of Harrisburg

Amen, Aprilapple! It's time to focus all that energy on something more positive.
