I'm Approved

Yippee....I have finally been approved for the Lap Band.  After getting on the phone and driving my surgeon's office nuts, they submitted my paperwork (minus 1 year previous history) and it was accepted.  I also received the approval letter in the mail today...

It definitely puts my mind at ease and I can start getting excited again.  So, I have to re-schedule my Upper GI and most likely a sleep study. 

My surgery is not until the end of March but I am sure it will fly by....can't wait...not looking forward to the liquid/mushie stage though...how did everyone do in that phase???

Of course I am a little jealous cause you are so close to our sweet Cathyteal....  But I will get over it... 

 

I knew you could do it...  Don't be afraid, it only gets better from here.....

Thanks everyone...

Cathy's great isn't she.  I didn't know her surgery had gotten approved, I know her insurance battle was a nightmare....Can't wait to hear how it goes for her.
