I want to have the lap band surgery and I hope I might get scheduled for as soon as next month. I have my psychology visit tomorrow and that is the only thing I need. So wish me luck. I've never done anything like this before. I'm 5'7 and 240lbs, with high blood pressure and bad genetics, so I think for my health I need to do this.

Good luck Jen. I am self pay, so from that respect I am lucky to skip by some of those processes. However, I am considering the surgery too. Attending seminar and inital consult tomorrow with a Doc in Houston, TX. Best of luck and hope all works out well for you. :gluck:

Jen, congrats on making the decision. You will not regret it.

Your body type and health condition sounds just like mine...and like you, I am ready to get rid of it. There might be times where you get discouraged :faint: ...just know that we are here for you! This is a BIG decision to get rid of a very BIG problem...and kudos to you for doing something good for yourself!

Please keep us updated!
