The first baby steps

It's been three weeks since the introductory seminar. So much info going around in my head!

I have watched Jenny, my niece, with her lapband success and I wonder if I'm too old, too fat, or too set in my ways to change even with the band.

 

Now after reading all the posts on insurance I'm scared that if they do schedule me, will I be able to pay for it? Or will my insurance pay and the dr. accept? I have ChampVa, I'm hoping I will get approved fast and get it over with even though after reading some of the posts I see that some have had to wait over a year!

 

Jenny looks so good.....a totally different person. She has lost over 200 pounds. She's happy now too.

 

I had my first dr. appt. this week.....now I have so many appts. I don't know if I can get them all straight in my head....have wrote some of them down on the calendar...at least they were kind enough to make several on the same day since I work nights.

 

I'm scared, nervous, excited, dreadful, and anxious all at once. I wish I didn't have to work on the nights the Support Group meets. I need to talk.
