Wowza, this happened fast.

My insurance was approved (finally) on Wednesday, Friday I am in for a consult, and Tuesday, I will be banded.

The Dr. seemed a little hesitant, until I displayed the knowledge that I had reguarding the band, after that, he felt a little better, I could see it in his face.

I quit smoking, I havent been overeating. I requested the AP band, which I will be getting. I have the best laproscopic surgeon in West Texas....

I am nervous as hell.

All of this of course, is being made into a bigger deal in my mind because I managed to beat the insurance company out of the 6 month diet plan, which I refused to participate in, and found my way around. So I am happy about the insurance approval, nervous about the surgery, and my labs were completed yesterday.

This is gonna be awesome.

WOW! Buckle up girl, sounds like you're in for a FAST ride! Welcome aboard! I will add you name to the "roll call" when I next update. Congratulations on your persistence, very assertive, good for you! Keep us posted! We were all nervous as hell, but the surgery is a total breeze. Recovery can be a b*tch but we all survived! Good luck Tuesday!

<p>Thank you very much <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" smilieid="60" class="inlineimg" /></p> <p> </p> <p>I am just trying to beat down the nervousness. All the sudden, I had to impose these strict rules on myself, when I thought I would at least have a week to prepare. </p> <p> </p> <p>My roommate believes in the Law of Attraction, so she and I would sit and visualize my surgery, being thin, being able to live a normal life (as far as my weight goes). Seems like it worked, because I am well on my way <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" smilieid="5" class="inlineimg" /></p> <p> </p> <p>-A</p>

:welcome: We are glad you are joining our October group! It sounds like everything moved pretty fast. Maybe that is good so you don't have a lot of time to sit around worrying. Things will be great. Let us know how you did and any questions. Take care!

Wow!! That is awesome that you beat the insurance company. I had a time with mine, but as soon as I was approved they wanted to schedule me for the surgery within 5 days. Wasnt ready for that and luckily I needed to have time off approved from work so I scheduled it out a bit. I wish I would have been brave enough to do it in 5 days bc I was going crazy in the interim before banding...LOL Good luck!
