Introduction

Hi,

I am in the early stages of getting ready for Lap Band. I am a moderately active individual who has been unable to successfuly loose weight. My current BMI is 38.7, and am 10 lbs under the magic BMI number of 40. I love to swim, and walk. I go for an information session on the 9th of september (in 1 day), meet with the psychologist on the 18th of September, and with the Dr. and Dietician on the 22nd of September. Insurance request will be filed shortly thereafter. If I get approved on the first pass, I anticipate a surgery date of between haloween and thanksgiving. (this should make for an interesting holiday season)

Looking forward to getting to know new friends!

-HEZ

    Hi Hez and congrats on your decisions! I hope everything goes smoothly for you with your insurance company. I'm biting my nails to the quick waiting for a response from mine.

    Let us know how things turn out either way!
