I was told to bring my medical records from the past year to my appt. with Dr. Bonomo. I went to get my records yesterday and it was weird seeing (on paper) how much my weight fluctuated. The records were actually for the past 2 years. This was a medically supervised weight management program using appetite suppresants. My weight was recorded as: Jan 05: 262lbs Feb 05: 248lbs Mar 05: 241lbs April 05: 227lbs June 05: 233lbs Dec 05: 252lbs Jan 06: 239lbs Mar 06: 245lbs Aug 06: 251lbs I hope these records are enough to submit to insurance without having to do another 6 month program.

I have been back and forth so many times in making the decision to have the lapband surgery. I have been researching for months and months and reading post after post on this message board. I have followed several of you throughout your journeys. Although I am scared to death, I know that the Lapband may be my answer to losing the weight and finally keeping it off. I am a chronic yo-yo dieter and have been on and off diets since my pre-teen years. At present, I am 5'9", 265lbs, BMI 39. I went to a seminar at Mercy Hospital on Tuesday November 21st. I went out of town the next day. I returned home on Sunday to find out the nurse called and left a message on Wednesday (the day after the seminar). Now I have an appt. to see Dr. Bonomo on Dec. 26th. I am very nervous, but very excited about all of this. I'm on my way!

Hi Hunny bun, Just wondering how your are doing w/ the program at Mercy Hospital? I called for some information and they told me to come to a session on Wednesday. Would you mind telling me a little more about it? I am still deciding if I should go or not. Thanks for your help.
