Wowwwwww Congrats! Sent from my DROID RZR Maxx using LapBandTalk

I have been to 5 of my 7 required Dr. Visits and I was advised by True Results (Houston) that on my next Visit I would be having an EKG performed and I would be speaking with a nutritionist. I have no Idea what I should expect from either. Somebody help me out here LOL Sent from my DROID RZR Maxx using LapBandTalk

On 5th visit.*** Sent from my DROID RZR Maxx using LapBandTalk

Yes! I Don't have the most wonderful Insurance ever but It's insurance non the less. I work at a Police Department and we use TML Intergovernmental Employee Benefits Pool. I was just sitting here and decided to read benefits book and realized I need to call Monday morning because this whole time they have been saying 6 visits and all testing like EKG...etc, as well as nutritionist visit would start in 5th visit. I got there ready for my visit and they then told me that I wasnt suppose to do that until next visit. Which would be my 6th visit. I dont know how a mysterious 7th visit got in there and I want someone to explain that to me. If it was added in they should have told me. Sent from my DROID RZR Maxx using LapBandTalk

I guess they stick the little things to you during the EKG? I've been waiting on more information about my diet right before and after surgery. At least I finally feel like it's happening! I was starting to get discouraged after 5 months of visits. They only lasted 15 minutes (not complaining) I was weighed, Talked to then done for another month. I just did not feel like anything was happening. It's almost here though. Sent from my DROID RZR Maxx using LapBandTalk

I should add. I Know what and EKG and a nutritionist is....just curious as to what I have to do for the EKG and what the nutritionist will be going over. Sent from my DROID RZR Maxx using LapBandTalk

Dr supervised diet I should have said. I have to meet once a month for 7 months. 3 visits left, one next week. I've done psych evals. Have to do all my other testing on 6th visit. Sent from my DROID RZR Maxx using LapBandTalk

Whoops sent that before I was done typing. The most frustrating part for me is, I feel like I am at a stand still because the visits are so routine and the same thing everytime. It takes me 3 hours to get there for a 15 min visit. So a 6 hour round trip for a 15 min visit. I keep telling myself it is worth it...because it is. They told me on my 6th visit is when they will start doing testing. So something new Thank Goodness. I do not have actual surgery date but thinking sometime in September.

Johnathan! I know EXACTLY how you feel. I began this process , they told me 6 supervised blah, blah, blah. Then mysteriously...it's 7 now! Thankfully, I have already done 4 and visit #5 is in a week. Sent from my DROID RZR Maxx using LapBandTalk

Good Luck Tren!

My insurance company required 6 months as well. Also, A Psych Exam and a Co-Morbity (Sleep Apnea is my Co-Morbity) I have completed the Psych Exam and 2 months of the Dr supervised diet. Waiting game is tough but it's going quick. Good Luck.

Only my family will know and they are completely supportive of my decision. I work at a Police Department where we work 12 hour shifts I get 5 days off every other weekend but I am maxed out on Vacation so I can take that whenever I want. I figured when the time came around and I started losing weight I could contribute it to being healthier and going to nutritionist. I just rather people not know.

Woohoo!!

Well I have some bittersweet news here! I recently started my weight-loss journey (January 13th to be exact!) I went in for my first of 6 visits that my insurance requires before surgery. My Insurance will only pay if I have a BMI above 40 and one Co-Morbity. Apparently, I went to the Dr and I was healthy as a horse. Great News LOL I know buuuuuuut Where is my dang Co-Morbity. I can't afford to be self pay! So they ordered a Home sleep study I had to take for 2 nights. I did it February 28th and 29th. Just got the phone call today them telling me I actually do have Sleep Apnea. It was literally the only thing left I had to be able to have this surgery. Just have to pass the PSych Exam on the 15th and I'll be good to go I know it seems weird to be excited but sleep apnea will get better with my weight-loss. I couldn't wait to get off the phone with that guy so I could scream. I know all of y'all can understand...For someone who has been over weight just about their whole life to be able to have a chance at losing weight is just amazing!Just few months ago I thought this was impossible........ Anyway, I am so Thankful for this website and the people on here.

Weight-Loss Lapband Buddies!? Say yes! Lol. I am still so happy today. I cant wait!

Mihkail I am going through True Results Houston! So far they have made everything soooo easy for me!

Thank you Ladybug! I honestly had to try so hard to contain my excitement when he told me I had it. i didn't want to weird the guy out by being excited as he told me I had sleep apnea. LOL. As soon as I hung up I freaked out! Did a little dance had my Doberman Pincher barking at me. It was funny. Glad I was home alone!

I can't wait either aj! I wouldn't mind being in a 14-16. I do not want to be too small but at the same time I want to be able to shop at regular stores.
