kewlshort1 4 Posted November 17, 2011 I'm so anxious and excited! I just checked Humana's website again, and it is now showing the submission for approval and the status is "Pended". I'm excited that it's at least showing something! My last appointment was last friday, and it was submitted after that. I've been told it has been taking about 10 - 14 days or so for approval. I can't wait to find out! I'm probably going to be checking it incessantly until then! 1 LadyT150 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

achiever2012 1 Posted November 17, 2011 I'm all set for surgery on the 16th of December. I picked up all of my Bars and shakes and supplements on Tuesday. I have NEVER had second thoughts and I am NOT nervous. I am so tired of this Roller coaster ride of yo yo dieting I've been on my entire life that I can't wait to get my band. I tend to be a person that will not read the negative comments about things that are posted online. Some people are just born complainers and nothing ever goes right in their lives and unfortunately, those are the ones that you hear from. My advise, stay focused and stay positive, and the rest will fall into place. I will have worked 7 months and 2 weeks toward my surgery and nothing is going is going to stand in my way!!! It will be a Merry Christmas and a FABULOUS New Year for ME!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kewlshort1 4 Posted November 18, 2011 Got my date! December 15th it is! That just so happens to be the date that I had picked out as being the "best" as far as my schedule goes, though I had not shared that with the surgeon. The way my schedule falls that week, I will only need one day off of work. It will also mean that I'll be past my 1 week post op liquids and into mushies, and may even be able to have a few bites of mashed potatoes with my family. We have somewhat of a tradition of fighting over who gets to sit next to the mashed potatoes I only have one week of pre-op low calorie, low carb diet, so I'll be able to have some turkey on Thanksgiving as well. Not that those things were the most important, mind you. It will just make it a little easier to work around LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRLZ4DUKE 0 Posted November 18, 2011 I am so excited! I have confirmed everything today! I have my 4th and final meeting with the dietician 11/23.

The time is finally here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
