FINALLY, officially introducing myself

[susidivah 0]

Hello friends,

Well, I've been around LBT for some time now, mostly as a lurker but have posted a couple times and messaged back and forth with a few peeps. But here's my "formal" intro now that the ball is moving a lil faster with my journey :ohmy:

I began in December 2009 with the "mandatory" 6 month supervised diet (per my HMO). Once a month class with the dietitian and I'll tell you, it was probably one of the best things I could have done. Learned a whole lot about the stages of the LapBand diet, nutrition requirements, etc. So got a good start with 5% down in 5 months. Then there was a delay with the paperwork going in for approval for the surgeon consult cuz my PCP wanted to see me first but this wasn't communicated to me :mad:

Long story short, I saw her 2 weeks ago, it was submitted to the medical group and approved and I see the surgeon for the consult on August 18th :present:

I've been "up and down" with keeping up my diet and exercise I think partly due to losing some motivation due to that delay. So I shall be back here to encourage others, seek encouragement, and continue to learn! I truly feel this tool is what I need to get me and keep me healthy in the long run!

God bless you all in your journeys and thanks for listening (((hugs)))

Susan

YAY! Finally the delay is over! Good luck!

Good luck! I have been banded for some time now, if there's any questions or concerns that come up during your process please do not hesitate to ask. The only thing I know absolutely NOTHING about is insurance procedures. :scared2:
