How long did it take from the time your insurance approved your surgery to get it scheduled? I am hoping to get mine scheduled for the 21st, which is only like 2 weeks away, my husbands first day of long weekend at work. If I can do this he will be here to help me with the girls for 5 days after. I go Friday for my pre-op teaching class.

HI, my name is Beth. I am a 25 year old Stay at home mom to 2 ownderful little girls, ages 2 and 4. I have already been through my 6 months of medical weight loss and all testing, I am now just waiting on insurance approval. I am so excited, I cant wait to get it done.

Once I started thinking about it, it took me 1 day to call my doctor. My husbands cousin was banded before me and him got together. After seeing her and the family telling me that before surgery she was double my size and now she is in a size 12, I called the doctor. My oldest daughter will be starting school this fall and I dont want her being ashamed of her fat mom. I have always been the big girl in my group of friends and I am so self concious because of my weight and I decided it is about time I do something about it.
