I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one confused! Haha. Where does one get this card? Does the dr. provide it? :tt2:

I am soooo excited. I am scheduled for my lapband surgery on March 24th. This whole process was actually pretty painless. My insurance is going to change on April 1st. I called Dr. David Kim's office on February 20th, got all the forms filled out. The Dr.'s office had the packet submitted to my insurance on Feb, 24th, and by the end of our consultation appointment on Feb 27th - the insurance approved the surgery! The dr.'s office was so helpful and just on top of it. This liquid only diet is pretty difficult. It's not so much the hunger- it's just the desire to eat- to chew. haha. And why is it, that now more than ever- Red Lobster, Olive Garden and all those good restaurants have so many commercials!? It's unreal! haha. I am so excited. I just know this is going to give me the "head start" or "extra help" that I need to lose the weight and keep it off.
