Hi everyone,

I hope you guys had an amazing holiday and a Happy New Year in the next few days.

I live in Hawaii and I'm a newlywed, yay!

I have lots of questions about the lap band procedure etc.

But first, I now have tricare prime and I have my first-ever general appointment with my new doctor in a few days.

I know that with the military insurance I have to meet with my general Doctor for a check up and etc.

My question is, how do I bring up the question of getting the lab band? I want to make sure that I do everything in my power to have the surgery and I want to start off with my relationship with my doctor right.

What did you do?

How did you get started?

Here are my stats:

33 years old

290 lbs.

Highest lbs. 320 lbs

Lowest lbs. 240 lbs

Thanks! :-)

Hey everyone!

I finally asked my PCP if I could have bariatric surgery! He said yes but only if I go through the "lean program" first.

I now have 2 new doctors for my weight loss program. Spoke with them yesterday, one is my nutritionist and the other is my bariatric surgeon. Both I'm meeting on February 13th yay! So the following week my diet should start.

I'll have more of an understanding of when I will have the surgery when I meet with them in February. :-)

I'm going to lose as much as I can on the diet, for success.

Yay!

Im sooo excited!

That is great for you. Congratulations.
