[url="http://www.lapbandtalk.com"][img]http://www.lapbandtalk.com/tickers/319487-lainieg/bmi.png?ts=1380529046[/img][/url] I have not had the surgery yet. Getting ready to set an appointment with my doctor and the bariatric center on Monday.
Did have my appointment and decided on the gastric sleeve. However, I have to get some dental work done first and that if probably around $1700. I am nearing getting it done now after saving dimes and pennies. So I hope to be back to the doctor in a couple of months.
Finally getting my teeth done in October, same month I saw my dr last year. I had to save up 2600 for the repairs and a lower denture. All other tests will be in October when I finally go on Medicare.
I am hoping for November date.
