Today I had a scheduled Physical with my medical Doctor . My purpose was that I wanted to talk to her about the Lap Band. She said I was a canidate for the surgery but she wanted to test my blood to see if I was Insulin Dependant.She said if I was that's why some people struggle with there weight.She understood how serious I was about the surgery.She said she would comply and give me they okay. So now it is the waiting game to see whether if I move to the next step. Has anyone had there medical Doctor do that to them??

Very true glad we have modern medicine to help us along the way. Just glad that I can still proceed with my journey.

Look at the plus side , it's classified a comorbidity which is in your favor as far as qualifying for surgery.

I'm thinking you are on pills correct? Hopefully when you loose weight this condition might go away.

That's a big plus in your favor all the way around. But I am no Dr. So check with your Doctor.
