Don't feel so bad...I have been cheating also and I had my surgery Aug 30 a week ago today. I feel just like you. I told my sister today that I will be the only obese person with a lap band in the world. I guess I just won't let it work:cursing:

Funny, I have the very same insurance! Do you work at the University of Texas? I did, but I am retired now. It didn't take very long for the approval. It's somewhat up to your doc's office too, if they turn in the paperwork right away. What doc do you have? I have Dr Eric Wilson in Houston. I had my banding done on 8/30/2010 just 5 days ago. I wanted to get in before that increase on insurance. That's crazy. Just glad they could help me. Good luck!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I am so happy for you! I start my journey tomorrow morning! I hope I am as successful as you! Have a wonderful birthday you little thing!!

Wow! Congratulations! My surgery is tomorrow morning and I am looking forward to feeling as good as you do! Today is a day of self-doubts for me because of my hunger. This is my 4th day of nothing but liquids and I would really like to eat right now! But, I won't, I'll hang on till the morning. It gave me encouragement reading your blog. Thanks!

Sounds like you are doing great. I hope I can do as good as you when it's my turn for the band in 2 weeks. I am really nervous about the "after" eating but you really made me feel better.

You have the same surgery date as me!!! Let's keep in touch!
