:fear: 6 DAYS!! :drama:

Sometimes a fill takes a few weeks to really hit you. It was only 3 weeks ago..maybe it was just the fill and not the flight at all. Just a thought

I just came to the realization that despite my best efforts...my weight was going no where but UP!! When I was about to hit 300 pounds. I surrendered and did what I said I would never do (I'm a control freak), and started looking into WLS. I feel so blessed to have found out about the lapband. I initially was looking onto RNY. Had to do something very different....just plain tired of fighting and and never winning.

Good luck!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: This will be me too next week Tuesday! I know I won't get much sleep the night before.

When I started this process, I met with my PCP and told him that I needed 6 months of Dr. supervised weight loss attempt (I called my insurance company 1st - to get from them all they require). My PCP gave me a referral to a nutritionist. My insurance Co. paid for this, inquire about this with your insurance as well, because some insurance do not cover seeing the nutritionist. Actually, my insurance did not require I see a nutritionist, just my PCP every month for 6 months. Maybe check on this also, because if you don't need to go the a nutritionist it will save you a bunch of travel. Your PCP will not know what you need to do. Get your list of questions together and call your insurance company directly. Then get your PCP to help you will the process with referrals etc. Hope this helps. P.S. I also have MDIPA- no problems at all

I've heard Dr. S is really good. Initially, he was going to do my surgery, but I decided to go elsewhere. Not because of anything he did...He's one of the area's best. You will be in very good hands!!
