i've been approved by my health insurance. i'll be having my gallbladder ultrasound and upper GI on tuesday. i've done the rest of the requirements.

i don't have a surgery date yet, but it will probably be at the beginning of next year.

the surgeon who will be performing my surgery is dr. cunneen at cedars sinai in los Angeles.

Bee,

I remember how excited I was . Now the excitement of seeing the smaller

numbers on the scale is really exciting . Congradulations on your approval.

Welcome.

Welcome to Lbt XXXXX Good luck on your journey.

I have my last appt with the surgeon this week 12/6/06. Can hardly wait for my surgery. I am hoping to have it done before the end of the year. Currently I weigh about 270+ (was 271 on my first visit to him, that was over a month ago). Dr. Paul Stanish in Merrillville, Indiana will be doing my surgery. I have put in alot of time doing research on Lap-Band and truly think that this is the tool I need to help me find a solution to my weight issues. I will post a before pic next week and then as time goes on will be back with after pics. Thanks for this wedsite.
