Hey guys....my name is Angie, I am 28 years old, live near Richmond, Va and having surgery in 2 weeks!!! :whoo: Its really unbelievable that the day is so close. I am excited to start a new healthier life. If anyone has any tips or things they have learned and wished they had known before, PLEASE let me know! hehehe I want to go into this with as much information as I can. I look forward to talking with all of you and making some new "band buddies"

Hey there. I went for the nutrition appt. today.....very fast. Maybe 45 mins if that really. Pretty much ask how many servings of each group you eat in a week and then any exercise you do. Thats about it. What all happens in the psych appt.??? A friend said she had to answer like a 400 question sheet. About how long should I plan on being there?? I am a little nervous about the appt. I dont want get in there and be all nervous and dumb acting....hehehe. I am hoping to get the approval from the ins. co. by the end of the month and can hopefully schedule surgery for the week of Jan 21st. I dont think it can all be done in time for me to have the surgey by the end of Dec, but we will see. Feel free to shoot me an email anytime. claysma1@aol.com Take care everyone!! Angie

Hey guys!!! I have a nutrition eval tomorrow at 6:00 at St. Marys. Anyone have any info on what will be done then??

I have to do both of these appts. befor my ins. will start the approval process. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of California. Anyone else have them? Thanks!! Angie

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the warm welcome. I have my appt. w/ Dr. Brengman on Oct. 9. I am a little nervous. :phanvan What should I expect? Mary, I am glad you are doing well after surgery. Congrats on the 5lb loss already!! :clap2:

Hi, My name is Angie and I live in Virginia too, actually King William County. I am attending the free seminar next Tuesday that Richmond Surgical is hosting. I attened the one done by Comm. Surgeons (Dr. Hutcher spoke) and was not impressed w/ that group. So now I am waiting for this meeting to schedule an appt. and get this ball rolling. I am hoping to have my surgery in late January or early February. :whoo:
