Sorry *its technically called Ambulatory care medical center

Where in san Diego have you gone? I'm currently in the process of being approved thru my insurence to be banded. I have several succes stories in friends with the band, and I'm going to their doctor! Dr Khalil, at the the San Diego gastric banding center. He's an excellent doctor, will sit and talk to you for hours if you need it. My first office visit I was seen by the psychiatrist, dietician, and had a physical. Ive had a sleep apnea test and found out I do have sleep apnea, so I'm being fitted for a machine tonight! Next Friday the 8th I have my upper GI and blood work and ultra sound...it's a Roller coaster of emotions for sure! Im new to this too and had no idea what to expect with all these visits! But they walk you thru them and it's ganna be fine I hope everything works out.

We must be twins!!!

Lol skinny sex! I can't wait! Congrats on your journey!

I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I realize now, after sleeping on my anger, that I think i really do need it! I'm excited to have a good nights sleep and if it will hinder my Banding then I for sure need a machine!! Thanks everyone for your feedback and support!

I heard it does help you sleep better, which I'm looking forward to I guess thanks everybody. I'll see what my results are tommoro!

Thanks for the inspiration! I'm upset mostly because I don't have problems sleeping, I never wake up during the night and didn't even know I had sleep apnea till this test!! I'm praying I will get approval from my insurence, I'm only 5'1 at 261 lbs with a BMI of 52 and now with sleep apnea how could I not be a great banding candidate!?

Very happy for you! And kind of jealous! My insurance requires upper GI, sleep apnea tests, nutritionist, psychiatrist, and physical. It turns out I have sleep apnea and need a machine to sleep at night! My upper GI is scheduled next week with blood work, and after that all my tests will be sent to insurance to (hopefully) get approved for banding!! Your lucky everything is going smoothly! Congrats!!

I'm in the process of being qualified with Dr Khalil! I really like him and I have my sleep study tonight! I'm so nervous! I don't know what to expect!!
