Almost There!

Hey All,

My name is Diana and I'm new here and i'm going through the process of getting my lap band. Im so excited. I'm finished with the pre req like got an endocopic exam, psych eval, EKG, blood work, and Sleep study. I meet up the the doctor on 2/11 to get the ok to submit it to my insurance. I hope they approve it soon. I've been over weight for a long time and with this oppertunity to become healthy i'm up for the challenge. Here's to new beginnings! My current weight is 260. My goal is to be 150lbs. I'm not worried about the surgery at all. This will be my first time having something done to me. I have managed to avoid the hospital for everything other than basic checkups. Now is the time to break the cycle of being from an over weight family and change my way of living for the future. I saw what my family went through being over weight and I really want to avoid it! I so glad this site is here because it answered so many of my questions. Good luck to you all and I can't wait to be a bandster! Woot!
