I am now waiting for an appointment date for surgery. I passed the eval and did my 6 months with the nutrician class and making great changes in the way I eat and think about food.. I am going through so many emotions. Excitement for the new life ahead and challenges I will face for the better.... scared have only had one minor surgery in my life. Talked with family about everything... I take it this is normal.... Guit

Good luck!

I guess it isn't so much as what was said but I was on a plane going on a business trip and the stewardess came over and didn't even try and whisper but she said it would be necessary for me to purchase another seat would I please give her a credit card.. She went charged it and came back and had me sign it. The whole plane watched I was devistated.. They could have been more tactful. I have never flown them again.

Can you explain what is the lapband card?
