Hey all - just a little update on where I am in my PRE-Band process. I've gotten my letter from my General Practioner, I've gotten a letter of necessity from my Neurologist due to my Pseudo Tumor Cerebri, letter of necessity from my dietician, letter of necessity from my neuro-opthamologist. I'm now scheduled for my cardio clearance. The only thing I have left to work on is a letter from a Psychologist. I found a 'bargain' for $150. Can I submit that to insurance?

Anyway - I'm getting excited. Just four pounds down with the dietician; but that's great news. I had my consult with Dr. Abkin, and all is great - just need some further blood work, which I'll go for on Wednesday. So, once I schedule the Psych - I can let the office know; and I can pretty much get my date!!!

Seems like such 'baby steps'. Those of you who are being banded just prior to the holidays - KUDOS to you all! I have some sort of warmth in knowing that this is my last holiday with a 'full stomach'. And if surgery is in January - by the time the holidays roll around; my band will be 'old hat' - and I'll be comfortable with all the new adjustments in my life. NOT to mention I'll be looking fine! Wow; seems like a lifetime away.

I did not have to do all of that stuff. I am glad you got it done. Congrats on having the surgery. Good luck to you!

As far as the insurance and letter from psychologist ask your surgeons office. They will know what is required. Sounds like you are rolling along. This will happen soon!

Take care. Shawn
