Insurance Approved..Woohoo!
Happy Friday! I recieved a call today that my insurance was approved, and in just 3 weeks!!! Unfortunately I have to wait until Monday for my surgery date. I was estatic when I first got the news, followd by a little aprehension that it is really happening. I just started the "journey" at the end of January when I attended the WLS seminar.....and hear I am a few short months later ready to change my life and achieve that elusive goal. I am ready!
Yes, my name is Jack...now you can say you know Jack
I went with lapband mostly because felt it was enough tool to help me lose the weight. I lost 140 lbs in the past 4 or so years mostly with Atkins and WW, but have stalled the last couple of year...no gain, minimal loss. I feel confident I can follow the plan with a restrictive only tool. Although I am ready to do what it takes, I was not as comfortable with changing my anatomy unless I felt it would make a significant difference. I have a number of friends and aquaitances that have had both lapband and bypass, and most have been very successful. I was also very close to chosing the dudenal switch....but ultimately opted for lapband. I think all of the "tools" are incredible and there is no clear right or wrong in my mind....although i am still a relative newbie and have lots to learn.
Thank you for the interest and I look forward to more interaction with those on the Losers Bench!
Best Regards,
Jack
