Congrads on your success in your weight loss and health improvement! I am awaiting insurance approval, hope to have this completed by end of month. I am looking foward to changing for the better, but I am nervous about the surgery.

Hello Everyone,

Tampa Bay area here, glad to see this group. I am preop, getting the docs, etc all lined up for insurance. Hopefully all goes well and I can get surgery by August. I am nervous, never had any surgery. Also, I am opting for the lap band vs bypass, anxious that I am making the right choice. I do so want to move foward to a healthier, happier life.

Good Luck Newbie!!! I am very nervous about surgery, though I am months away from mine.( I need to complete a 6 month documented diet program to meet insurance critera). I have never been hospitalized, and the my mind runs awayat times, The reponses from everyone are most encouraging and I will keep searching this site for more advice. Thank you all.
