Seminar, Consult, Dietician

I got to kill 3 birds with one stone, When i went to the seminar wednesday i also got to do my first visit with the surgeon and my first visit with the dietician to get started on my 6 month diet.

LapBand Seminar

Well me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for almost 4 years now, with no luck, we tried clomid, and that never made me ovulate, and my obgyn wanted to refer me to a fertility specialist to do injections for fertility, and i asked her if she recomended having the lapband surgery to help me get pregnant, and she thought that was a good idea, so we're pausing trying to get pregnant right now, and i signed up for a lapband seminar on dec. 30 when my husband will be off for christmas.
