I have my surger Date!! 9/6/06!! Can't wait to join the losing team!!

I just got my date (9/6/06) so I'm officially joining the September Band Crew!!:high5: Look forward to meeting the rest of the crew. :clap2:

Great Question and Great Answers!!! Thanks for this post!

Thanks Irish Girl and Mousecrazy!! I'm so RELIEVED that hurdle is done! Now I can concentrate on getting ready for the surgery! Kathleen:tgif:

I called UHC yesterday and they told me that I was approved!! :whoo::peace: I thought they'd never finish with it! They have 30 days to respond and yesterday was day 28! :faint: Now we'll set a date and then I'll be on the other side of the WL tracks!! Kathleen

Jeezzz, you all are the funniest and this thread rocks! No wonder I visit LBT! I'm not banded yet but after reading through this thread I think I'm going to make sure I get all my "licks" in before I'm banded so he doesn't go through withdrawls... I loved all the icons!! Specially this one:

Hi. I'm not an AZ Bandster yet but hope to be soon! Thanks to everyone out there posting. I love reading everyone's experiences and tips! They really help!

Thanks Emily! I agree about this site! I have learned so much that I feel when my time comes to get banded I'll be ahead of the game mentally! Take care. Kathleen

HI there. I'm a newbie. I submitted my paperwork to the insurance a couple weeks ago and just waiting for approval. I'm in Mesa AZ and will be going to Dr. Terry Simpson for my band. :biggrin1: I'm currently doing SB and I can't wait to get the band to help me lose my weight. I'm looking forward to doing all those fun things I used to do...skiing, scuba, hiking, archery tournaments, etc. Well, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.

I'm not banded yet but the buffet at the Belagio in Vegas is sounding GREAT!!! :hungry: Actually I'll probably go to Texas Roadhouse for a nice steak, baked potato, and their great dinner rolls! :peace: Maybe have a beer or diet coke since carbination will be an issue I'm also planning on having my favorite Peanut Butter on Toast...especially since I hear a lot of banders have problems with eating bread and peanut butter. :eek YIKES!! Good fun topic!! :wave:

:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::wow2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2: Congratulations!! Great job - you should be very proud of yourself!!

Hi Slimwithin, Congrats on the band and welcome to the site! I love it and I'm suer you will too... Kathleen:D

Welcome Wendy. I'm new to the site also and I'm waiting for insurance to come through...UHC. I called them yesterday and they expect to have an answer by Friday!! I heard that it can help to call and find out who your case worker is and make sure they know who you are and then they can put a voice to the paperwork they are looking at. Worth a shot...

CONGRATULATIONS fellow AZ Banster.

Thanks Coyotegirl! Yes, he seems to have a large fan base! I'm really happy about his support after the surgery! Looks like you have had GREAT success with the band!! I remember seeing your post from the other day - when you posted the pic of you on the scale and your piggies were showing! Very nice!!
