three sixty six

hi Patty! I saw your post about the show being on this weekend, so I raced home and set it to tape. i watched it yesterday. it was GREAT!!! great job representing bandsters - even though I haven't been banded yet, I feel like part of the family, and you made the family proud!!! excellent piece, and way to go on your success!

..just got off the phone with the surgery center. they finally reviewed my 17-page packet (they require all new patients to fill one out before they get an appointment) and my appointment is set for next friday.

I attended a WLS seminar in December, and the doctor that presented happened to be a different doctor in the group than the doctor I had previously wanted (I had hoped to get some face time with the Doc at the seminar, but he wasn't there). I got an appointment for the doctor I haven't met, but I'm wondering.. if I have a consult with him and I don't get that same warm & fuzzy I got from the doctor who presented (who answered all twenty-seven of my questions), is it cool to switch? I still really want to meet this guy.

I can't decide!

hi there! i've been reading posts on this site for weeks now. finally decided to start participating. i'm from delaware. i've attended one WLS seminar at a local surgery center. i've been reading lots of books on the lap band.

this week, i sent in a huge packet of paperwork to the surgery center so they can evaluate it and see if they'll make an appointment for a consult.

right now, my insurance probably won't cover a lap band so i'm saving up to be self-pay.

my goal is for surgery in june.

looking forward to talking with the bandsters on this site!

cheers!
