Hi Everybody!

I have done a couple posts, but I am getting excited because it is only a matter of time before my information gets turned over to my insurance. I have had my initial surgical consult, NUT eval, and psych eval and will be having an EGD on Friday. I'm a little nervous, but my husband's an ICU nurse and has been filling me in on everything. This is the first time I will be under anesthesia, ever!

Anyways, after Friday, they will send the info to my insurance and there is a small possibility that they will require me to do a three month, NUT supervised diet. I, of course, am hoping that I don't have to wait that long but I am willing to jump through all of these hoops to get this done! Make room on the loser's bench!

Nothing profound or life-changing here...Just an update! lol

Updates are good. Sounds like you are on a good track and in a good frame of mind. Good luck to you!

I know how you feel.....recently (5/29) I had surgery to have the band put in but due to an artery in the wrong place they couldn't do it. That was my 1st time under as well. I was very nervous but it was a quick recovery in regards that I had surgery but not completely.

I do have to say I believe it was a blessing in disquise. I am nervous to go with a different option but looking forward to getting on with my life in a more productive way.
