Hi all,

I've been lurking for a while , but now that things are finally starting to move along I'm gettting excited and nervous too. Last Wed I went for my first consult with the nutritionist, met one of the doctors, but not the doctor that will be doing my surgery, met the PA, and made my 2 months appt out for the next visit with the nutritionist. Since then I have scheduled a gallbladder ultrasound, and the psych eval., both of these for next week. From what I've read on my insurance coverage, I don't think I will have a problem with them paying, or doing a lot of jumping thru hoops. If I can just lose enough weight between now and my next nutrition appt I think things will move along pretty fast, hopefully. Now nerves are getting to me, but not too bad. Just have to keep my eye on the prize, lol.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi.

Hello Lisa! Sounds like you have your plan in place.... CONGRATS!

Hi Lisa! Welcome to LBT! Sounds like you are on your way. Congrats! Gigi

Lisa, congrats on making the decision to be banded. It will truly change your life. Good luck.

Thank you all, I guess I have done so much in the past week or so, now its waiting again. Oh well, I guess I have quite a bit more waiting to do, but I know it will all be worth it.

I don't remember who's post it was, but someone mentioned that their doctor said to remember that at this point she will never weigh this much again. I loved reading that (thanks to whoever posted that) It gave me so much strength to get through this day, and will for the rest of my wait.

Anyway, thanks for all of your kind words!!

Lisa
