Hello. My name is Nicole. Lap band has been something that has been a "pondering" thought for a few years now. Actually when i first was asked years ago if i ever thought about it.. my first reaction was "im not a candiate, why would you think id be a candiate?" Now years later.. still struggling with my weight for over a decade, up and down yo-yoing.. countless ruling outs like sleep apnea, allergies, thyroid issues, other hormone issues, too many food logs and counting of calories.. im here.
And Im happy to be here mind you.
Ive been doing alot of reading and watching of actual surgeries online. And recieving information and support from close support systems i know who have gone through the surgery... I have made the educated decision that this is somehting i want.
Right now I am currently.. awating my consult appointment. I have been given the thumbs up and referral by my pcp, ive been to an information session, and was referred to a surgeon that is well known and trusted. So im still keeping life organized with who i have called, appts ive gone too, insurance stuff, and referals.
Im nervous and excited about what June 16th's consult will bring me.. Once hearing the views of the surgeon -- i realize what he says will change my life forever. Whether he approves me to be a candiate or not. Ive thought of both senarious alot.. and i keep playing them in my head. I only hope to be prepared.
So this is my "Into" and i look forward to reading about your adventurees and tips and support.
