Hello all...Im new to the forum, (as you can probably tell from my lack of photos etc). Im a 27yo wife and mom of 1 beautiful 3 yr old daughter, from Dallas, TX. I went with my cousin to a seminar in March...and had been thinking about Lap-band for a while. My insurance doesnt cover it....so I never really thought any more about it. Last year I was told I am pre-diabetic. (Both my parents have TypeII)...and going through insulin resistance. ACK! Last Wednesday I finally just said..."hrmm....I will go ahead and do the initial consultation..." come to find out I have pretty high blood pressure...and other "small" issues that I had are now getting worse. So on Thursday I called and got approved for financing and by Friday I scheduled my surgery date. Surgery is scheduled for May 20th....Pre-op the 19th. I start my 2 week diet in 2 days. I am so nervous. I keep reading everything I can about complications...so that I can be a little more educated and perhaps learn from other peoples' experiences. I am starting to feel the anxiety and nervousness of the surgery take its toll. The dr I am using is a little more expensive than some of the others around...but my cousin is good friends with someone who has used him...and has nothing but GREAT things to say. So I think the extra money is worth it. I look forward to all that we will go through together....and look forward to the support this site can give us! ~*leeann*~ **I will be sure and update my profile soon!**
