Insurance companies are only beginning to see the light here in the states. More and more are NOW covering the lapband...DO THE MATH--they will eventually look at the bottom line and see it is the best alternative for obesity...hopefully! Good luck with your journey.

<p> </p> <p>Gr8 idea--we could invite the "neighbors"...WI, SD, ND, IA, um....Ontario! Should we?</p>

Hey, you are a busy gal! You have a terrific attitude. Bring it on! CAN DO!! I like that! Be sure to post updates. I guess I have a quite a lot on my plate (excuse the pun) as well. My hubby and I are moving (he was offered a position in Rosemount)to the Twin Cities area and I have started applying for work there. We have a house in northern MN that we need to sell and so we have been "camping" in our 5th wheel for several months. Never a dull moment, right?

wow, quite a month for you--married and banded--a lot of exciting things in your life!! I have not been banded yet so I can't offer much there but, I do wish you many long happy years of marriage! Stay in touch =)

Gee, some of you have been married almost as long as I have! Wow. 34 years here..course, we'll have to see what tomorrow brings--just kidding. Yup, a lot of history there, why give up now, right? Nah, the guy's a gem. Italian, what more can I say? :eyebrows:

I am keeping things pretty quiet, too. I guess I'm thinking as I begin loosing and as my confidence grows Im hoping I will feel as if I can share this information with more people. Right now, only my two sons and my husband know.

THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR AT JUST THIS MOMENT!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!

"IT'S A BREEZE"--ILOVEIT!! That's exactly what I needed to calm my nerves! THANK YOU FOR THAT. :faint:

My entire pre-op has taken over 3 months and I still don't have a date; however, I hope to hear from the insurance company by the end of the week. So...there is time...just put this on the back burner a bit and keep your concentration on your exams. PP is right-take your breaks here:) :ranger:
