Anyone else get ill before their visits to all the pre op appointments? My psych eval and dietician eval are this morning and again im sick with feeling like im going to puke and slight diahrea ( sp) . Hopefully it isnt just me :/

wow!! i wish my appointments were all done in one long day . mine is from may-august then aug 27th i get submitted to insurance. yes....write down any questions you have and take it with you . ask ask ask !!! my insurance goes by health problems, weight and bmi ( i have BCBS )

agree....it almost doesnt seem like it will be REAL until I get the approval .

im the same way. ive told a few family members, but my husband is super supportive. i was so nervous before going to my consult visit i almost got sick lol.....after the appointment i was even more sure i wanted to do this . message me anytime ....sounds like we are near the same on our journey . my 2nd visit is this week ( dietician eval & psych eval ) ive had my ups and downs in dieting as well, great while it lasts but it never does :/

Welcome!! I'm fairly new also, just now starting my journey. this place is a great place for support. I have found answers to soooooo many of my questions here. truly a great bunch of people.

to this website!!!! OMG, since definatly deciding to go through with the lapband surgery i cant stay away ! seriously! the site was down for a while yesterday and i had withdrawels lol I am finding so so so many success stories on here it realy has inspired me and makes me hopeful that my journey will be as great. i also greatly appreciated everyone being so very honest with the bad side of it as well ( stuck etc ) . i go to my psych eval & dietician eval next week.. ok , just had to share that

good luck . i have the exact same fears lol , i know i cant get my surgery until september ( at least thats when im shooting for ) i have my list of appointments to get through first. hang in there WE CAN DO THiS

great! it is so nice to see others starting the journey . i just recently made the call & had my consultation with my dr/surgeon. im also 5'4 lol weight seems to show more on us short gals doesnt it im a momma of 3 girls all older 15-16-20 hoping my surgery will be in september of this year !! my goals -- 130 by daughters graduation in 2014 walk into victoria secret and be able to buy ANYTHING cause it fits buy a cute pair of harley davidson jeans wear a cute belt and have it show wear the dress i was married in again !! (( its a size 10-12 )) own a cute bra not from a plus size store!

had my first visit today to my dr...my consult visit. looks like my insurance does NOT have me jumping through hoops for this either ((YAY)) made appointments for my diet eval , psych eval and the behaviors-diet-exercise classes and my final review and submit to insurance appointments ......looks like my last appointment is AUGUST 27th.......so close yet sooo very far away lol super excited now!!

thank you everyone. i DO wish i had went through with it back then , but i cant change the past just look forward to a new future. im actually excited along with being nervous.

ok, i made the call to my local lap band surgeons office. now im nervous. waiting on the call back to verify insurance etc... i went to an initial consult about 2 years ago but then got scared after hearing of things being "stuck" and needles for filling. am i just being a big baby? im 249lbs and 5'4 and 38 yrs old.........and miserable . i know i HAVE to do something *SIGH* any input would be greatly appreciated
