I met with my primary doc yesterday and got the ball rolling!!! He said i qualify for our insurance to cover and now I have to find who I want for my surgeon and of course jump through the hoops of testing and the 6 month "diet", but I am officially on my way! Looks like my Christmas/New Years time will have an additional celebration added.... YAY! <<<PS... if anyone has any information on Dr Haggerty in Highland Park, IL I would LOVE to hear it because I am thinking of choosing him!>>>

yay. So happy for you. I remember when that was me and couldn't wait. It'll go fast and be here before you know it. Now i'm just waiting 3 more weeks til i can get my first fill (right now i don't really have any restriction and any fluid in my band as my dr. don't leave any in at surgery).
