Got Approved Today!!!!!

[Turler 6]

Oh my gosh! I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I just got word today that I am approved for my LapBand surgery! I just can't believe it...I don't have a surgery date yet, but should find out this week! My journey through this has been quite an experience, and am so happy to be joining your group to share all of this with. I know I'm new here and no one knows me yet, but I look forward to meeting you all!:tt1:

Congrats! I am a newbie also. I am going through the banding process. I have dietician and psyc evaluations the first week of Feb. How long did it take to get you approved?

HI!

Well, my journey was somewhat unique...started over a year ago, had to stop, and restart. After I restarted, it took almost 6 months. I had my psych eval, dietician, exercise physiologist, etc. already. I hope we are down to just another EGD and the liquid pre-op diet, but I'm not totally sure!

Either way, I am SO ready for a new life!

Thank you for replying and sharing my excitement!

Congratulations! I was just banded on Jan 16th and I have already lost 14 pounds. I just can't believe how great I feel! I am a diabetic and I am barely 12 days out and already not taking any insulin or oral meds. I hope things go as well for you! Good luck!

Ooohhh, I want to be like that! That is amazing! I'm a little worried that I'll be like some who've posted that they are like 4 months out and have only lost 12 pounds...I've got big plans for a new wardrobe and a Tummy Tuck and going on a cruise and...and...and...LOL!
