Hey Guys,

You all have been so wonderful in sharing your journey. I am just starting my journey. The most difficult part is deciding to move forward with the Lap Band Procedure. That is done :eek: Moving forward.... The second most difficult is finding the right Doctor to perform the procedure. I did attend a seminar in Hampton last year with the Weight Loss Center. Very nice group. My journey ended with the death of my younger sister. That put a hold on my entire outlook on a lot of things. I am back on track again. I was hoping to find a group closer to my home in Chesapeake. LoserwannaBe worked with the Norfolk Surgical Group. I am looking forward to hearing about her whole experience. Gina has given me some wonderful information to consider as well for making the best decision. This forum really is the perfect tool in getting this type of information without all of the marketing garb that can go along with it. Just the facts and the true to life experiences. That is the best possible reference I could ask for.

Please let me know what "made " your decision about the Doctor you chose.

Thanks so much!

I guess I need to wait. I am going to the seminar tonight on Princess Ann. Do they weight you in at the seminar Gina? Wondering if that is the starting weight for the whole process Gotta keep the BMI at 40 at least so I do not have insurance issues. That is pretty sad to have to worry about. Insurance Companies sets the standards
