First Doctors Appointment This Week :)

This is my first post so sorry if I ramble. I have been researching the lap band for three years now trying to figure out if this is what I want to do. I know how major this is and how life changing it is going to be. I am sick of waiting for my life to start. I went to orientation last week and I have booked my first nutritionist appointment and surgeon appointment for this week... I guess you can say since I waited three years to finally start this journey I am in a hurry to get through with these four months prior to submitting my info for insurance approval! I can't wait but I am also not telling anyone until I do get the insurance approval because I don't want to tell everyone I am going through the process just to get shut down by my insurance... is anyone else in the same boat?
