Hey SD

I called the insurance this morning and they have received all my info- finally- I am officalling in the approval process!!!! They are starting to process it today!!! Hopefully in a week I will hear something! You all will be able to hear me screaming from Belle Fourche WHEN ( not if) I get approved! Any way this is my check in- Becky I hope things are going good for you too. Kathi PS- Shanon you consult is only 6 days away!!!!

Hey yourself! This is my 1st posting. Keep your patience w/the insurance company. It sounds like things are moving along, slowly but surely!! I worked w/mine for well over a year, but it all has been great since. I'm 7 mo post-op after my lap-band. The one piece of advice I can give is use this time to prepare yourself mentally for the life-change you're pursuing. I'm alot like you in the years spent w/ Weigh****chers & everything else to try to lose it on my own. I guess I had hoped that the surgery would be more of a "cure all" but all of your success and determination still has to come from inside you. Good luck & I'm sure the new year will bring big changes for you!! M

Hey there Kathi~ CONGRATULATIONS That is super exciting news!! I know every little milestone is cause for celebration in my book, so way to GO girl!! Hey Michelle~ Thanks for posting, I sure hope you continue to pop in. It sounds like you might have some great advice for Kathi and any other lurking South Dakotans!! Blessings~ Becky
