March 23rd for me. I'm excited, anxious, nervous, and elated all in one. I'll get my banding profile up but I started at 476 and am down to 426 per my insurance requirements and can't wait for the band!
My insurance required me to lose 10% before getting qualified. That was 47lbs for me. It took me about 5 months of using Slim-Fast and I did it. It wasn't easy by any means but it was well worth it.
