I never thought I'd be able to have WLS of any kind because of financial resons (no insurance), but the hubs & I sat down and worked it out so that we could finance it! I went to my initial consultation yesterday morning and moved forward while I was there with the labs, pulmonary testing, physical and EKG. Also, I have to have a sleep study done & am having it done this weekend. Worst case scenario, I'll be banded within 90 days....of course I'm hoping for sooner!!! I'm so excited I could scream!!

i see no worse case scenario. gives you time to get your head into game and develop want power...let us know how the sleep study goes. it wasnt so bad except the goop in my hair crap.....anyhow hang in there

Thanks carolinagirl! Im actually kind of glad I'm having the sleep study (with or without the lap band). Several family members have sleep apnea and I have most of the same symptoms. Im expecting the equipment today via Fedex and will be doing the study at home over the weekend, so maybe it will be a little less traumatizing than being at an office trying to sleep in a strange place!! Lol!!

Same here! I am going to the dr for current labs on Fri then on the 12th I have my initial consultation with the surgeon! Still have a long way to go, still have my 6 month diet to do but hey gotta start somewhere
