Thanks everyone for the feedback! I will be sure to update. Hope to submit for approval by the end of next week, if my blood work comes back normal.

Daisychains - How long from your inital consulation to the actual surgury day? It seems like everyone's case is differnt.

I do not liked cooked veggies at all but a coworker recently told me a way to cook them and i ended up somewhat liking it. If you cut up broccoli, squash, zucchini, and asparagas into small pieces, cover with a small amount of olive oil and bake them until they are crunchy almost a little bit of black on them. I think the bunrt taste covers the veggie taste which i like.

Thats good news. I don't want to get my hopes up but my birthday is in August and I would love to have the surgury before then. Im going through True Results and they seem to streamline everything. Have you already had your procedure? How has it worked for you?

I think all the testing they are having you go through is to make sure you will make it through the surgery. Getting your health in order first is a good thing. We wouldnt want anything bad to happen. Dont give up, just take it day by day and have the testing done. Before you know if you will be banded and healthier than ever. I think these issues will actually help your insurance cover the procedure.

Congrats! I just started the process and I am already being impatient. I am just going to have to try and keep myself occupied.

Today was my initial consultation. I had my in EKG, Pulmonary test and blood drawn. My appointment for the psych eval is Wednesday and then they submit. Thankfully I have BCBS Anthem and they don’t have a long life of requirements. I have been going back and forth for over a year now and im glad I finally made the decision to have Lap Band. My birthday is in August, so I would love to have this done in June so I can have some weight loss by then. Wish me luck

I was given a 20 page packet with questions to complete prior to my appointment. I go Wednesday morning, they managed to get me in, in 2 days. I will let you know how it goes. If I were you I would go with Dr. Creepy, I think it will be worth it in the end.
