My paperwork was submitted AND approved today! YIPEE!!! July 7 must be a popular date. It's now my date, too! Don't forget to go to the July 2009 board and post your date there, too. Juniper is compiling a list of all the different July folks and their dates.

Cute! I'll have to remember that one!

How do I get the July 09 Freedom Fighters for my signature?

I guess I did get the ball rolling for everything. Honestly, I thought it was taking way too long. Once I made up my mind I did everthing I could. I'm still amazed my insurance is covering everything.

Wow, Chad, you really did get it done quickly. I am in Greensboro, and we only have 3 surgeons in the same practice that do lap bands. I started with the seminar in NOVEMBER and am going to be banded July 7. I didn't even have my first consultation till Jan 22 (and I signed up immediately after the seminar). I guess Raleigh has it goin' on!

Chad to get the tag in your signature you have to copy "code" you find the one you want (there are several version on the site) you right click on it and copy as URL- then go to Edit Signature, and paste that code into the signature box where you want it- then preview signature to make sure it shows up, then save signature.... that should hook you up.

If you have problems PM me- I am around most days.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
