Good luck an happy journey! We are all routing for you!

I hope I don't have to do the six months diet....been through that. He said that I shouldn't buy I will keep you posted.

Just found out today that my doctor does not require supervised diets. So all I'm waiting on now is an appointment for a h&p and two other appointment before surgery. I don't have a date yet until my approval comes after they send it off. Patiently waiting for some good news!

So I know I haven't been on in a while but here is my update. Everyone had really motivated me to continue and fight or happiness and health in my life! I moved to Florida and changed my PCM. The base referred me to out patient because of the age restriction. Now I have to go to the seminar today with Dr. Baptista before I can even make an appointment. I had a long talk with my provider and I'm torn between the lap band and sleeve gastroestomy. Any advice ladies? How are you doing with the band? I will try to update you as much as possible.

Thank you for all the advice ladies! At one point I thought about giving up. I have changed PCM twice but now I have someone who has approved me to receive a referral. I don't want to get over excited because I know it has to be approved but I can't help but be excited. Just wondering how long it will take to find out if I'm approved. Hoping I can pick the location and doctor. Any suggestions? Going to be in Jacksonville Florida so I guess I should start looking around there.

Hi I'm currently moving back to Jacksonville and I was wondering how I could get in touch with him in regards to the surgery. If anyone know where I could get some information to get started.

Hello everyone! Currently I'm staying in Biloxi Mississippi and I'm having a hard time finding a doctor to get me started on the lap band. I am over 40 BMI so I'm guessing it shouldn't be as hard to get this done. My main concern is where do I start and does my insurance cover it? I have already tried gong to a nutritionist and other steps so what should I do?
