I meet with the surgeon tomorrow. So far I've been really impressed with his office staff. They've been prompt and very courteous.

I've filled out a ton of questionaires (sp?), have already requested all the required medical records, and hope they've been faxed when I get there.

I have a sleep study this Friday (10/28/05). I have restless leg w/periodic limb movement disorder, and they want to re-check me for apnea. I had minimal apnea 6 years & many pounds ago.

I have an appointment with a nutritionist on Tuesday (11/01/05).

I guess the big ones left are endoscopy & a visit to the shrink, but 3 appointments in the next 8 days is enough to do me for this week. I'll look into scheduling the rest of it after I see the doctor tomorrow.

I'm sure I'm dreaming, but it would be so awesome to walk out of there tomorrow with a surgery date!

Thats great, you'll have a date before you know it. Just get those other appoinments out of the way and they will have no reason not to send to insurance...then you get a date quick usually.

Patience, you'll be a bandster before you know it.

Wow, Karen, you are really on your way! Wahooo!!

Last night at Girl Scouts I was hidding out in the kitchen, because I couldn't eat....that sounds weird...but basically volunteered to help serve because I couldn't eat...any way.... Was talking about the lapband and another lady there said she was a former patient of Dr. V and was seeing the doctor he refered her to...oh can't remember the name. But anyhow...just goes to show...its a small darn world. I told her about lapband talk and about our group, don't know if she will join us, but I hope so.

Good luck today Karen!
