You guys are in my prayers. I've got my stuff done and am waiting for submission to Tricare. Then I'll need yours as well.

I'm doing the same thing. I just keep praying "Lord, if it be a good thing then help me get approved".

Keep us posted! Good luck!

Hello all future bandsters, Like most of you, I to am waiting for the insurance gods to smile upon me to. I called my Dr`s office today to see if they have heard anything, I was informed that the gods have until the 21st of this month. My packet was turned on June 10th. I was told my 30 day period in which they have to make a decision did not start until the god`s got it in their hands. If they wait till the 21st I will be waiting for 6 loooooong weeks. I wanted to let everyone know this so you can ask the question up front and not have to go thru all this waiting. Know when the time starts, and how long you ins company can take before they have to let you know their decision. Good luck to all of you ,and may the gods smile on you.

My surgery date has been set for August 4th!!! I have my pre-op class on the 23 of July. I am really nervous now that it is real!! I cannot wait to start my journey of life after the band. I pray that all goes well. I think I am still in la la land and cannot believe this is actually gonna happen.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
