Yea! I just got approved last week too. I will be banded April 10th. Feels like forever, but I'm sure it will be here in no time! When is your surgery date? I think it will be worth the wait...it certainly can't be worse! Good luck!

CONGRATS to you all!! I just had my band 3 weeks ago tomorrow. It is very exciting! Read around this sites. In my short 3 weeks I have learned so much about my expectations and reality. If I could offer any advice (what limited amount I have to offer) PLEASE do NOT get discouraged if something weird happens (like you gain weight eating only 300 calories a day). It happens and I guarantee there are 400 posts up here about people experiencing the same things you all might encounter. Just remember that after the swelling goes down your band is not filled and truly doens't "work" until it is about 6 weeks post-op. Don't give up or think you should be losing more. Everyone's body is different. The band is so worth it! It is hard work, but it will happen. Good Luck, and keep reading!
