I just got started with the whole process. I went to a Seminar on Tuesday but it wasnt from the ALSA office I am going to have do the procedure if approved. I hope I dont have to go to a seminar put on by them because thats atleast another month away.

I went to the nutritionist yesterday. The nutritionist said I was a great candidate for the procedure and she is going to send over her blessing to ALSAMG, Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery Associates Medical Group Fresno in Clovis, CA.

I called to set up the appt with the head shrinker today but she was in session so Im waiting for a call back to schedule an appt.

Im 32 5' 9" 267lbs my BMI is just shy of the required 40 to be approved by my insurance but I dont think they will bother. If they do then Ill eat a few big macs and then go back! hahaha J/K hahah

Im looking forward to getting this procedure done so I can get back my life. Im WAY WAY too fat! hahah It never occured to me how fat I was. I guess my self image is just off a bit but I think Im a very good looking fella. Sure I have alway had few extra pounds but it keeps me modest hahaha.

Anyway, I just started the Lap band process but I have been chewing on it for a while now. I tried more diets and work outs then you can shake a stick at but always put on more fat then I started with! Its BS to work that hard then just put more back on... WTF? haha

Im kinda freakin out that Im not going to get approved by my Insurance. I have Blue Cross Purdent Buyer PPO and I guess they are cool with the normal Bypass but I dont want that.. thats just WAY TOO MUCH! haha the Lap Band is perfect for me! I hope they approve it or its off to Mexico I go. How many peso's would I need south of the border anyway? ahah

Ill post back or when I know more you can check out myspace.com/kingjes when I know if Im approved and I have a "chop/chop" date.
