Since my last entry....

Since my last entry I changed from Riverside Hospital to Ohio State University Hospital for a variety of reasons. However, the most pressing was financial. The Riverside program fee was $2500 ($1000 more than I expected even on the high end). Secondly, the OSU doctor has done nearly 9 times the lapband than the Riverside doctor who primarily did gastric bypass surgery until last year. So, I feel pretty confident with all my research, talking to other OSU patients, and reading and reading some more on Lapband Talk.com to find answers to questions I would never think to ask i.e. what should I have in the house before I leave for the hospital? 2. What is the best exercise etc. I've learned a lot from this site. THANKS EVERBODY.

Last Friday 1/9, OSU called and said I should hear something via mail about my appointment with the nutrionist within the next two weeks.
