I am practicing the chewing and making the meals longer since I am a fast eater. I have a timer I set for 20 minutes at meals, have to admit I've only gotten to 15 and that's when I am REALLY conscious of it.

Of any thing about the surgery I worry about it's this PBing and vomiting. I haven't been sick in around 20 years. AND I eat fast, (working on it).

Wow just got kind of upsetting news. When I left the Dr office on Tuesday I'd gotten it into my head that it would only be 2-3 months before the surgery. I know that's what the nurse said but now I'm thinking she meant that's how long it takes to find out if the insurance will cover it. I called today and she said 4-6 visits with the Nutritionist BEFORE the surgery. I knew everyone had said it took a long time but thought maybe it had changed. I was all happy thinking I'd have it done over the summer (since I don't work in the summer) but now it looks like Oct. I'm a bit deflated but not much I can do.

Hi group, I am just starting out on this journey! I have only had my first appointment with the surgeon. I go to the first support meeting tomorrow night and the psych is set for the end of May but no word on the Nutritionist date yet. Hoping that is soon. I have battled weight all my life so I'm really really excited to think perhaps this will all work out for me as I've seen that's worked for others on this forum. When I went to the surgeon the other day they asked if I knew anyone who had had LapBand and I said no.So this is a good way for me to get some much needed info, and possible encouragement when it comes to the time I am sure I will be in need.
