Hi! My name is Jenn. I've been lurking for a little while. I just got my surgery date today which was a total surprise because my insurance company originally said I would have to do a six month diet but then changed their minds. So I will get banded on Oct 27th. I have to do a two week liquid diet which I am not looking forward to but I'm wrapping my mind around it. I'm just so ready to get started. The first time I heard obese from a doctor I was 10. I hope to get lots of good tips and buddies from here.

Welcome - and Good Luck, I am aiming for that date myself - waiting approval for 3 months of the weightloss classes out of six that I had to do, when I began this journey I had already done 3 months prior through a program with my employer - then I did 3 through the center's program so we are waiting to see if they accept the first 3 months - if not I will have to do three more and should be banded around Jan. Lucky your insurance changed - what insurance did you have. Alot of insurances are changing from the 3 months to the 6 - my mother in law is waiting to hear whether hers has - she was originally told 3 but then a week ago the dietician we see told her they changed to 6. You know other than being anxious to start the journey and see results the classes can be informative.

I have blue cross blue shield of kansas city. They only ask for previous attempts at losing weight but for some reason they wanted more proof of mine. I sent in my weight watchers books and that did the trick. I hope yours gets approved as well. Good luck!
