I'm working on losing my 10% weight so I can get a surgery date. I have scheduled all my many appts for clearances (Need Cardiology, Pulmonology and Psychology) except for Psych since I'm having difficulty finding a therapist which accepts CDPHP I also have an appt with a Gastroenterologist for a consult to have a GRD whatever that test is. And my husband and I are going to go for a sleep study. So I'm thrilled that I'm on my way. Since 9/8 I've lost 8 pounds

Hi everyone. My name is Melissa, I'm 32 years old, and I'm beginning the process to get my lap band surgery done. Tomorrow I meet with the nutritionists :yippee: I'm 5'0 1/4" tall, and weigh 313lbs which makes my BMI 60.6 I live in Upstate NY near Albany, and will be going with Dr. Paul Singh at Albany Med. I've been researching the Lap Band for about 3 years now, and have to get my BMI under 40 in order to qualify to get treated by Albany IVF so I can try to get pregnant. I'm looking forward to learning and having support from all of you
