I've been lurking on this site for a couple of months now and have found it to be one of the most informative that I've found on the net. I've had my first consultation with my surgeon and I'm scheduled to meet with the nutritionist on Jan. 16. My PCP is on board with my plans and was pleased to hear that I'm considering the lap band. I still have to schedule my psych appointment and then I guess all that will be left is waiting on the insurance company.

Welcome! Sounds like you have the fun stuff out of the way. Now the hard part.........the waiting! Good luck to you!

Welcome to LBT! Good luck with your journey and keep us posted!

Welcome to the board. After noticing that you are from Texas, I looked at your profile. I am a teacher also. I teach 1st grade. In fact there are several of us around here. We have learned what is easier to eat during that very short 30 minutes that we get so holler if you have any questions and good luck.

Hi Audra, Welcome, so happy to see you out of lurk mode. This is the best site on the net for Lap Band support. Hope to see you arounbd more often and best ofluck to you with your band I hope you have lots of success

Thanks for the warm welcomes. This adventure seems to be getting closer each day. I'm scheduled to see the nutritionist Monday, Jan.16, and I've been precertified by insurance to see the psychologist for that evaluation. Now all I need is a date to see him.

Good luck on your journey. I have also been a lurker and have been viewing the boards for several weeks. My insurance was initially filed on 12/19, but I guess the holidays caused a back log because they had to refile on 01/05... two weeks lost - gurrrrr!

Oh well... what can you do. I hope we can both be happy banders soon.

Welcome and good luck! Please come back for comments and support. It's really helpful to share. Shawn
