Hi All!

[CassieF 1]

I finally joined today after lurking for a while! I just found out this week that I was approved for the lap band

It's been a quick journey since I decided to start,

9/27 I got the referral from my PCP to the surgeon

10/13 I went to the "seminar" which was actually a one-on-one because no one else showed and then they submitted my packet for approval

Then just two days ago (yes, 5 days after the seminar!) I got word that the surgery had be approved! I have my first actual appointment with the surgeon today and will hopefully get a surgery date! It's happening so fast which really makes me excited! I thought for sure after reading so many stories on here that it would be a long process, potentially with a supervised diet since I have BS CA *** but I actually have a copy of the the surgery approval in my hands! Unreal!

I can't wait for this to happen!

Thanks for the welcome! The PA said the band should work really well for me and I just need to loose 10 lbs before surgery! Now we are just waiting for the lab results before setting my surgery date!
