Well Im finally banded, and I cant believe it. I am three days post op as of today. It was a lot more painful than I expected it to be, but I can tolerate a lot of pain so I was up and hangin out and going to the bathroom. Everyone was shocked at my progress

I didnt do well on the pre-opt diet, but not horrible either,s o my liver was fine, and I had lost 1.2 pounds.

Now, Imd oing the liquid diet like a friggen champ. Its going tob e difficult so I will be looking forward...

gosh, since learning of my approval i havent been back to Lap Band Talk ever since. that just aint right. i have the appointment with my surgeon on the 28th, and will probably be having surgery late august

IM APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well its been two weeks + waiting so far. The first time I called medical mutual someone told me there was no claim on file (!) I was only semi worried because I knew the jewish hospital folks knew exactly what they are doing.

Now Im nervous. I called and got another representative! I was told my information is in the nurses review part and it would take another five to seven days (!!!!!!!!) thats it. I am crossing everything on my body now. :) Seven days is around the nineteeth. After...

I know I am going to ponder how long MED Mutual takes for approval now.. :)
