WooHoo, I think?

I got the call today, my insurance has approved my surgery. Thing is, I didn't realize the approval was for a specific surgery and they approved the band, which I DO NOT want. I will call my doctor tomorrow and see what can be done. After reading through a lot of posts on these forums, I have come to the conclusion that I want the DS. If my insurance won't cover it or my surgeon won't perform it, then I want VSG. I read too many bad things about the band, especially several years out.Did my weekly weigh in a couple days ago. Lost another 7 pounds. If I could stick to this pre-surgery diet long term, I could really drop the pounds. It is very difficult though as I am always hungry.
