Catter

congrats!! signed, jealous newbie

thanks for the info and support! Tyler when you talk about resetting your metabolism....does it slow it down? Babs - sorry you are in waiting too. I am so impatient so I feel your pain . Talktime - you weren't being negative you were being honest thanks! I have a few friends who are banded and are a great support and inspiration but all paid out of pocket so I don't have any resources for insurance covered bands.I have done tons of research and I love reading banded blogs. I hate to say it but my main reason for doing the lap band is so I can run again. I miss doing 5ks and I know this will be a great motivator. I don't have to be skinny to do them just healthy! I have a long term secret goal of doing a triathlon. (not so much secret anymore eh?)

Lurker coming out of lurk mode for some support and a question. I went to my 1st appt in August and was told insurance covers my lap band 100% (YAY!) but I have to do a psych eval, nutritional appt (no biggie) Except the worsed of the worsed 4 months of diet recording (Boo!) I am so about instant gradification (hence needing lap band) and was so hoping to have this done before the holidays. I know I am whining because I am blessed to have it covered. Okay so on to the question. My diet is great right now trying to stay around 1300 calories but strangely enough I am terrified that I will lose too much weight and insurance will not do it. Did anyone else have this fear and/or can that happen? Am I just being paranoid?
