Finallly ! ! ! I started my new job about a month ago. And this company will pay for the surgery (at least I have been told that they do). I went to see Dr. Speigal this morning for a consultation, and I hope to hear back from the office on Monday that the insurance will cover the procedure. I have been wanting this for over three years, and now it seem like it will finally come true.

I am going to start working my crunches now to get my abdomen stronger. I have already started taking biotin to counter act the possible hair loss.

My 50th b-day is next Feb. and I really want to try something that my hubby loves. I want to lose enough weight so that I can go skydiving with him

Well, I'm rambling, but I am getting excited. So ladies and gents, please pray with me that I get good news on Monday.:kiss

I hope all goes well. Let us know tomorrow what you find out.

Sky Diving! Aren't you the thrill seeker! I wanted to do this when I was a teenager, but now I am way too chicken and I don't think my osteo-arthritis joints could take the jolt. But, Good Luck to you in your banding, weight loss, and leap of faith!

I took a job because the insurance paid for the surgery. I it all works out for you. My banding is scheduled for 5/31.
