Im hoping for early March! I'll keep everyone posted! So excited/nervous! Glad to see someone started a "March group" though!

Im hoping for beginning of March as well!!! Woohoo!

So true...the butter face comment IS more insulting! hahaha our situations sound similar! Now I keep asking him if he's said anything to anyone else and if he's for sure he ONLY told his mom. hahaha I keep reminding him NO ONE ELSE He's assured me he won't say anything to anyone else.

I LOVE this place and all of you guys for your stories! I don't feel so alone! I just finished my psych eval today so now I just have to wait for them to send the letter to my doctor's office and then everything will get sent to the insurance...for hopefully an early March banding!!! Thanks again everyone!!

I just had my psych eval today and it went great. My doc was so so nice! Sounds like mine was similar to CHANged's visit. He asked me if I knew about the surgery and we just talked about me. I was actually very nervous for today but it was smooth sailing! Now just for the insurance approval!!

I have my psych appointment Monday, so I can relate with not knowing what to expect!

I know!!! We have been together for 6 years so I should be use to her by now!!!

Thanks so much! I just needed some reassurance! Oh, Instyle98 I was JUST talking about the "but you have such a pretty face" the other day. I can't stand that!!! Anyway, you guys are great, thanks again!

So today I had my last dietary appointment. I was down 7 lbs since my last appointment and received all my information for my pre and post op diets. Hoping for surgery in early March. I was having a good day! I came home and was talking to my boyfriend about it. So far I have only told him and my parents (who are very supportive) I just don't feel like I want to tell anyone else yet. So, as we (my boyfriend and I) were talking about I said okay, just don't say anything to anyone because I'm not ready to really tell anyone yet and he got a funny look on his face. I said "what??" He said "Well, I may have told just one person." Well of course it was his mom. Probably the last person on my list to tell. Her response "She doesn't need that!" It's just very frustrating. Yes, I am 5'4" and weigh 236lbs I do not look like I weigh that much but that is not the point, I stil FEEL like I weigh that! It was just very upsetting for her to say I don't need it. This is my choice. So I just wanted to vent a little.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Hi Everyone! This is my first time posting. I had to do the 6 months (well 7 months) of weight loss/visits with PCP for my insurance. I have my last visit on the 29th of this month. I have all my "pre-op" testing done (labs, chest xray, upper GI), just have to do my last dietary appt (2/1) and psych eval (2/4) and send it off to insurance. I am hoping to get banded beginning of March. I work as a float nurse and sometimes go to our weight management clinic so I work with our lap band patients. I am familiar with many things about the band but of course since this is happening to ME I am nervous but so excited to be on here!!
