Nice thread! I am just turned 23..... have 1 week until everything is submitted to my insur co... really... really..... nervous. I get the jitters thinking about it. PLEASE GO THROUGH! My weight loss surgery cetner schedules out 1-2 weeks... so I could be banded by march! *crosses fingers* My best friend is "thebonbon" we work together... did out apts together, and hers is being submitted tomorrow. Wish US luck I should say lol. Its been a great thing going through the process together instead of alone.

Just went to seminar last night and have my consult and psych eval on 3/20. Doc says once insurance is approved can be done in 3-6 weeks after! I'm on my way!

I'm going to the consult and pysch tomorrow I am so nervous that they (doc or ins) will say no since I'm under 40 bmi. I really need to get this done. I'll probably need co-morbs but don't have any of the major ones. I've been treated for depression and gall stones, think that's enough?

Hi, I'm 24 and I started this process in December. Right now I am doing my required 6 week behavioral medicine class and I am well on my way to losing the required 5%-10% pre-op weight. I am very anxious about the surgery, I wish I were having it tomorrow. I have pretty much put my life on hold (what little life I do have) anticipating having surgery. I'm hoping against hope to have surgery by June 1st. That would make my summer!!

well i went to the consult and did the psych eval yesterday. the doc thinks I'll get approved by ins b/c my waist measured 44 in which is way over what a female should have, plus the joint problems, the prior depression and gall stones. The psych chick was so impress about how much thought and research I put into this. Plus with my prior depression treatment that I am continuing to help with the behavior changes, I have already address the emotional eating stuff. now it's just the waiting on the ins ugh!

I am about 3/4 of the way thru the pre-op steps. I have attended a seminar, chosen a surgeon, completed and passed the psych eval, had a full physical (including blood work) and am meeting with the surgeons nurse and nutritionist on 4/2 (my surgeon requires this). Luckily I have gotten all of this done in only about a month. My insurance is great too and doesnt require much (ok, someone knock on something wood now, hehe... since requirements can change soo quickly) so I am hoping to have my surgical consult by mid month and then send everything for insurance approval. Wish me luck! I am sooo ready to get this whole thing started, but honestly I am not looking forward to the all liquid diet!

Hi all, hoping I can join you! I am being banded in 8 days!!! I just weighed myself during this 2 week liquids phase and have lost 8 pounds, it's crazy! I never lose weight on diets, I lose a few pounds, then get stuck and even on ww, only lost 14 pounds in 9 months! So this is crazy for me! I am very excited and looking forward to this new journey!

Kris,
Rock on! It's awesome that you've already lost weight. It look like we are in about the same goal range, I want to lose about 80-85lbs.

the only direction my scale has gone in the last 6 months is up. I'm sure its from stress. but i've been up and down since I was 16.

Hi Guys! I am 22, a college student in Northern Colorado. I am 5'5" and 241 pounds with a BMI of 40. I have been overweight since elementary school.
I can't wait to go to Florida and wear a bikni! And not have back, ankle and knee pain and have my grandmother call me 'stop eating' everytime she sees me.
The list goes on and on. Anyway, I am awaiting approval and it can't come fast enough. I am terrified of denial.
Nice to meet you all and I am so happy for you who have dates coming up! Are you scared?
