    Well, I met with my primary care doc yesterday and am very pleased. He is 100% behind my decision to follow through with this. I was concerned about the 6 months of doctor monitored dieting but he says that because I have been seeing him regularly since April for my weight, I am already 3 months into it and he will continue to see me monthly for another 3 months as he feels it will take that long to get a date.
    My husband is furious as the doctor for supporting me. He asked what the doctor said and when I told him, he would not speak anymore about it. Wait until he finds out I have to pay out of pocket to see the dietician today! Oh well, this is for ME and my health for my KIDS!!!:wink:

    OK, so I am laying it out here for all to see.
    A little about me. I am 37 years old, married with 3 daughters, 11,4 adn 2. I work full time as a paramedic instructor at a college and part time as a paramedic. I am also a 9 credit per semester student at Towson University. My schedule makes it crazy for me to try to diet. 25 weight watchers points spread out over a 24 hour shift is tough!
    So, my doc recommended the lap band. I have a consult with the surgeon on 7/9 and am really anxious. I am concerned about the 6 months of diet documentation. I have been doing weight watchers but not seeing my doctor monthly so I see him tomorrow to see if I have to start over again or not.
    Anyway, my husband is 100% against me doing this and that makes it really tough for me but I need to do it for my health.
    I will keep you all up to date......
