Getting the ball rolling

My insurance company requires 3 months of a supervised weight loss program... I am now going into my third month and the next step is to have a psyc evaluation , write a letter to my insurance company explaining why I feel I need the lap band, a letter from my Dr. stating that this surgery will be beneficial to me, my pre surgery tests and finally off to my insurance company for approval. Needless to say I am very anxious and excited to go through the process and ready for surgery. :(

Thanks everyone, and no I havent completed the pre surgery tests but working on that next.

Does your surgeon do another surgery besides the lapband?

If so check it out. Don't do the lapband. Save your self years of grief.

I wonder if this is the person also responsible for the strange emails that started coming from this site: I'm a boy looking for a girl, kind-of-thing. I just deleted it, Figured no site is pest-free.....
