I met with Dr. Fontana on 06/06, he was really nice as was his nurse. He would like me to try to loose 25 lbs. before we set up surgery, he says it would make surgery easier---I seem to carry my weight in the middle--right where he needs to get to! I am trying! I have appt. for blood work and EKG next week and psych. appt 07/31. So I am at least moving along in the process. Have to set up appt. with dietician and go to support group and get release from obgyn (had cervical cancer 3 years ago) and pulmonary (sleep apnea). I am so ready to get my band. Really did not want to see the # I saw on scales!! Highest I've ever been. Wish me luck on the dieting!

I have an appt. with Dr. Fontana on 06/06/08!! :thumbup:They have checked with my insurance so hopefully that is one hurdle crossed. I am so ready to get this done. I had really hoped to have surgery before my son starts kindergarten in September but I know the process takes a few months. I am just happy to have the ball rolling!:thumbup:

HI! I WAS AT THE SEMINAR AT VA BEACH WED. NIGHT AS WELL. I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH DR. FONTANA. I AM CALLING MONDAY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, SO HOPEFULLY I WILL GET THINGS MOVING ALONG. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!:w00t:

Hi everyone! I am new here. Going for my seminar next week. Anyone here from Northeastern NC?? I have to go to VA no surgeons here, but thats ok. Went to a seminar last year and really liked the Dr. Had to change insurances, hope it works this time! I look forward to sharing this journey!
