My name is Megan and I'm new on here. I just found out today that I'M APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited as this was my second time submitting. Oh, but it was sooooo worth the wait!!!

I just feel like I'm going to explode with happiness!! I don't think I've been this happy since my daughter was born 2 years ago.

Our local support group is tonight at 5:30. I can't wait to go and tell the group that I'll soon be banded like them!!!:smile2::w00t:

Congratulations!

How are things? Do you have a surgery date?

I know what it feels like to be denied and finally get approved. I fought for almost a year to get my band!

I hope everything goes well, and you'll be a bandster soon!

MadysMom-

I too am having surgery on Thursday and just today received final approval from my insurance company.

The surgical team had me doing all of the pre-op procedures without really knowing if I would actually get approved. All that I kept thinking was what if I get denied and I have been on this pre-op liquid diet for the LAST 12 DAYS! Talk about pissing off a hungry fat woman!

I wish you good luck on Thursday. May we both breeze through surgery without any complications!

Congratulations Ladies! I was thrilled when I got approved and I don't regret my decision at all. I would get banded all over again if I had to. I am so excited for you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
