Starlet, sounds like you're getting close. Let us know as soon as you get

your date. Your piece of cake sounds like myself before the surgery, a

response to my emotions. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to get over

this after the surgery, that I'd have the same compulsion. But in a month,

I haven't at all. Not being hungry is a big help, but the most help is

seeing weight come off and knowing why you did this in the first place. I'm

sure somewhere along the way I'll be tempted, but I hope I've had enough

education about diet and weight to see me through.

Hi Scarlet,

I truely wish you the best along your journey. I was in the same

boat waitin for my insurance approval. I didn't bother calling the

doctors office because it only slowed them down as they didn't have

anything to do with the insurance approval other then sending over

the paperwork. So, I called the insurance company, so you may want

to give that a try and be more confident of getting an answer. You

can find out what 'stage' your awaiting the approval is in. Just

ask them, they will tell you.

Take care,
