[needtoseemeagain 0]

Today, I got tentative date of January 9, 2009 for my band. I am enemic and need to bring up my Iron levels. I am saying tentative only because my insurance auth has not gone through yet and I dont want to get dissapointed. I am super excited, but trying to maintain untile that auth goes through, then I will allow myself to really celebrate! :cool::cool::thumbup::thumbup:

I am also hoping to have my surgery in March or April. I have been to the seminar, however Kaiser that my work has does not cover ANYTHING for weightloss. Not meds or the WLS. I am on my 6 month diet that I know BCBS requires for me and it will be up in February. I can't wait.

I am scheduled for surgury 01/05/08 with Dr. Aceves in mexicali. I'm so excited. I would have loved to get the band in the states but my insurance would have taken forever (atleast 1 yr. and rny only) so here I go... This is my first post and I look forward to chatting w/you all...

I am getting my band at 8:00 am on January 8th. I am getting scared about this. I am afraid that I might fail on this just like every other weight loss program I have done. Is anyone else feel the same way as I do right now. I am very excited about doing this also. Just having some mix feelings right now. I start my pre-op diet on December 26th. I just need one week before surgery.

I've just completed my six month waltz for Aetna with extended dietingl!! I've seen all of the surgical team now, waiting for the final word on a January date. I'm kinda in shock that the time has passed and it's knocking on the door now! YEAH!

Hang in there...NO FEAR!!! Meet it head on with a smile and optimistic point of view. You've waited, worked hard and now it's here. Good for you and go, girl, go!! Jan 8 is close at hand. And, yes, I have a lot of stuff going on in my head as well...but, this is a chance for a new beginning!

I hear what you are saying txspatter. January 8th is coming very quick. And you are so right this is our year to be a brand new person. No more laughing behind my back, or funny remarks. I just hope this doesn't fail me, that is why I have you guys to keep me on the right track. Of course my DH and other family members are there too. But you all know how it really is.
