Well... Here I am it is finally happening! I have struggled with my weight my entire life so being able to get the lab band is amazing. Believe it or not, I actually won the Lap band surgery.... Yes I said won! There was a walk from obesity in my city and a local surgeon was giving away a free lap band surgery.... And I won!!!! The prize also covers the first year of appointments as well. I cried all day long and I still think it is all a dream! I feel so incredibly blessed because my insurance would not cover the surgery. I know that God opened this door for me and I am so excited for what is to come in my future. I am going for my consultation next week! Excited and nervous all at the same time!!!

Amazing!!

I am so Happy for you Mallory!!!

Is it okay if I ask why your insurance denied your request?

I have yet to ask my Doctor about about the surgery.

I have a ways to go in this journey and am curious. No worries if Not.

What an incredible thing to happen for you :lol:

      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.
