Found out yesterday that I was approved for the band!!!!! Although i will not be banded till June 27th, I am just so happy and relieved to have this part behind me. I was worried because it had been several weeks since I was submitted, and had not heard anything. Turns out the wrong department had the information at the insurance co. When the right department got the information I was approved in 15min!!!!!

Wish me luck - I'm sure I will get more nervous as the date approaches</p>

Congratulations! You are on your way to your new life! And it really will be a new life for you. It certainly has been for me--everything in my life is better now. My unhealthy relationship with food is gone, and has been replaced by a whole new, healthy one! For example, last night we went to this really cool place that has go-karts, laser tag, mini golf, video games, etc. They have this amazing all you can eat buffet with pizza, Pasta, baked potatoes, Soup, salad, and Desserts. The old me would have had some of evrything--the new me had a small salad with fat-free dressing. I know I still could have had a little bit of everything if I wanted to, but the thing is, I really didn't want to! Lots of people who are banded still eat the same foods they did before, just in smaller amounts, but I would rather fill that small new pouch I have with good, healthy food. And, I quess that's working for me, cuz I have lost 70 pounds so far! This has been the best thing I have ever done, and I'm sure you will think so too. Good luck with your journey!
