I was hesitant to call my insurance because I didn't want to seem over anxious...but I have called everyday. I was trying to fight myself not to call today, but my nerves got the best of me. They said I was just APPROVED this morning. I am so happy. No, ECSTATIC! Well, let me go and call my docs office to schedule pre-op and surgery. Who dat girl gone have that surgery? Who dat? Who dat? Who dat girl that's gon lose those lbs? Who dat? Who dat?

I can't even think about ...and I am a teacher. Let me get focused! Bring it in, bring it in. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO!!! I love your post! It is clear that you are truly happy and I am happy for you! Welcome to the world of lapband. Keep reading this forum (particularly the post surgery threads) to get the "real deal" on the what/how/whens of lap band surgery. Don't let the negative stuff get to you, just take what you can use and leave the rest. There is a well spring of information here.

All the best to you on your journey! WOOOOOO WHOOOO! YAY jblady!!!

Congrats! :rolleyes: You sound exactly the way I did! I think I actually became obsessed with checking on line with the insurance company and then calling over and over since the "Unapproved" me 3 times. Just paperwork technicalities though. Like said earlier, REALLY take time to learn the post-op. I was so swept up in pre-op questions and insurance, I didn't. LET ME TELL YA!!! I was just banded Friday the 21st, I wish I had. It's different than what I expected. Good Luck on your Journey! Keep us all posted!

Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you. I know waiting for the insurance approval is the worst!

Now for the easy part! The surgery. I can see you now...dancing down the hallway into the operating room!

He gonna have to knock you out to get you quiet! LOL

You'll breeze right through it with the great attitude that you have!

Keep your eye on the prize, girl! Good luck to 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.
