Well- today i had my first visit with the nurse practitioner and then in two weeks the first visit with the dietician.....this will start the 3 month M.D. supervised diet pre surgery. Ultimately this should mean that sometime in October I can have the surgery. Im so excited and nervous at the same time. However, I have to say that reading everyone's posts/blogs is so helpful and reassuring. Here is to moving forward and wishing everyone the very best!!!:devil:

Good luck to both of you!!! i am just getting started on the whole process....have a visit with the surgeon, nurse practitioner and dietician tomorrow. take care!!

Good luck to you!!!

Follow that program! Don't give up. I know what you mean.....Im on the edge of the weight limit in a way - without any co-morbidities however......how long until there are co-morbidities. What we are trying to do is prolong our lives- live the best life possible. Sometimes it is not about will power....everyone who has tried to lose weight has will power and has probably felt that they don't have it. but i really feel like there is so much more to it than that......anyway...im rambling. Keep trying- go with the program, take it day by day!!! God Bless

i know what you mean about diet coke!!!! im totally addicted to it....so im starting now(during my pre approval phase) to try to get myself off of it. It is really hard though....some days i just want the fizzy! Keep up the good work

Well- i have gone to the seminar, and now am in the process of getting all the medical records and hoping to start the 4 month Dr. supervised diet the insurance company wants me to do. I am truly inspired by all the posts i have read and i look forward to reading more, as well as joining you in the future as one who has had the surgery.

God Bless

i have read your story...I am thinking of getting the lap band procedure done but i am nervous. mostly about that "head hunger" that you talked about.....Im scared i will fail.....

congrats on your progress- it is an inspiration
