I attended the seminar with my surgeon this evening and scheduled my appointment with the nurse practitioner. Apparently, St. Louis is just chugging out the Lap Band, because the soonest appt they had available was June 30th. However, a nurse working the seminar said they were opening some new slots and if I call first thing tomorrow morning, she could work me in earlier. Yay!

Halfway through the seminar, my mom leaned over and whispered, "You really should just do gastric bypass". Holy moly, no. I may be fat, but I'm healthy. No comorbidities, no high blood pressure, no diabetes, nothing. Not even asthma. I am in no hurry for drastic, crazy results and the whole idea of GB makes me really uncomfortable. So I was glad she was there to see both sides.

How are you all doing? Any fun news?

I kinda started my ball rolling too! I have a 6 month supervised diet. Good luck!!

Ball is rolling in this court too!! Got my insurance approval yesterday! YEAH!! I'm SOOOO XCITED!! Will get my surgery date on Tuesday when the office reopens!! Good LUCK 2 u all!
