Hi,

I've been busy attending the surgery seminar for the bariatric practice I've chosen. Got hubby to go too. We both felt that it was the right choice in bariatric practices.

I still have to have all the work-ups, but I've drilled my insurance company with all the questions the practice provided me with and I won't have to wait the 6 months to prove eligibility by failing a diet, my BMI is too high. So as soon as all the appointments, tests are done, I can have surgery. There is the question of which one is best for me (this practice does all) and it appears after listening to the pros and cons of all procedures, I would be a candidate for both the lap band and the sleeve gastro(something) surgery because of my advanced arthritis I wouldn't want the others because you can't take NSAIDS.

Thanks for keeping tabs on me. You're the only one who did and I appreciate that!

Kathy
