:rofl::w00t:I am new to posting threads on lapbandtalk.com but I have been reading the many stories and experiences that each person has to offer. I received the best news that I could hear yesterday 8/12/08. I was approved for surgery!!! My ride has not been that difficult with the insurance (Horizon BCBS NJ) but it was very nerve wrecking to say the least.

I was doing the diet program on my own when I had my first seminar. So I completed 6 months in February 2008.

June 28 - Seminar done :lol:

July 25 - Consult with Dr. Paul Guske @ The Kane Center in Arlington Heights, Illinois :rofl:

July 19 - sleep Study completed :rofl:

July 29 - Psych Evaluation completed :rofl:

July 29 - submitted 6 MONTH diet and all other paperwork to insurance.

August 12- received a phone call that my insurance APPROVED :rofl: MY SURGERY!!!!

Now awaiting my surgery date!!! Which should be between 9/8-9/19

which is not that far away!!! I can't wait!!! I am so estatic!!! :rofl::rofl::thumbup:

I am so ready to finally be happy. I know this is going to be hard work but I m determined and I WILL SUCCEED WITH FLYING COLORS!!!! :rofl: :crying:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
