  1. I was wondering how long everyone has waited to hear from Dr. Hoffman's office. It's been at least a month.
  2. Thanks for telling me . Is there a certain number I should call ?
  3. I haven't heard from Dr Hoffman's office . Hopefully soon.
  4. Thank for the info Judy. I hope I hear something soon . Can I bring my daughter to a seminar ? How long are they?
  5. I finally faxed all my paperwork to Dr Hoffman's office. How long is the wait before I hear anything?
  6. I called my PCP and the office lost the forms. I faxed the forms to the office and the office should have the forms sent to me by next week.
  7. I still haven't gotten my referral and other paperwork from PCP. What should I do? I call the office and the excuse is that they are behind in paperwork. Any ideas?
  8. I met my husband in a AOL chat room . I'm happy and I know how hard it is to a find a good man. A friend of mine had good luck on match.com.
  9. I just started my journey . The only people I told are my Dad my husband and my daughter. I'm telling my mom until after I have everything in finalized. I'm not telling anyone else . else
  10. Congrats. I'm Glad it's going well for you so far.
  11. Thanks I sure hope not.
  12. I have a permanent back injury it pervents me doing alot of things. I can't bend or stand on my own every long just recently my back has gotten worse. So I hope my PCP can explain that on the form.
  13. I would like to Judy, but I have a bad back.
  14. BlueRose, I understand how you feel. I have sereve back problems too I can't walk very far or stand very long. I hope this surgery helps us both lessen our pain.
  15. I'm sure I will like Dr. Hoffman .
  16. I sent my PCP forms to fill out concerning the lap band . The fitness form and the medically needed form . I haven't gotten them back yet .
  17. I know that my insurance company requires a referral , the one I am concerned about is the one in the packet from the Dr. Hoffman's office . I decided to send the referral letter form and the fitness evaluation form to my PCP .
  18. Thank you linda I have one question I asked my doctor for a referral when I got my application packet sent to me there was a blank refferral letter inclosed . What should I do with it ? I still haven't gotten my refferal because of backlog. Im wondering if she sends me a standard refferal if that will work.
  19. Judy .Because the back injury is permament thats one of the reasons why I don't exercise. But ok then so maybe they will think I'm a candidate. thanks for listening and the advice.
  20. I nervous about this too. After I filled out the weight loss history portion of the application I worry the doctor will think I didn't try long enough on each diet plan which was about six to seven months . But I'm also worried that I will have problems after and will it really help my issues. My biggest problem I have right now is trying to figure out if it will make my back feel better enough I can excerise more often than I can right now. Thank for letting me get this out. I would appreciate any advice .
  21. Judy thanks again for the application . I filled it out I'm just waiting for the referral from my PCP . I hope I get in.
  22. I will do that, Im sending you my address right now. Thanks Judy Anticola.
  23. I called Dr Hoffman's office last week and I don't haven my application yet . Should I call again?
