Well lets see where to begin..I guess I will start with the psych evaluation...it has to be done in two sessions because the guy HEN PECKS the damn keys:mad: so it is taking twice as long to type the answers I give him up. I just want to say to him "give me the damn keyboard and tell me what to type" I type 50 + words per minute. But thankfully the soonest they can get me in is Feb 1st

I went to PCP doc and explained to him that I would like to have the Lap Band done and we talked about the pros and cons and what my symptoms are that validate me NEEDING the surgery. So I told him about the back pain, the tired all the time, etc. So he said since my insurance company doesnt require a 6 month weight loss he said I would like for you to try a prescript diet pill until if and when you get ur surgery. So he is putting me on Fastin. He also gave me Glutzera since I stopped taking the regular Metformin because of the HORRIBLE side effects and OMGS that pill is FAT, I about choked trying to swallow it last night at dinner. He said second thing is I would like you to have fasting blood work done and third a sleep test. Well things are falling into place quickly for me...the soonest they could get me in for the blood work was THIS MORNING!!! Awesome.:rolleyes2:...Next the sleep test..the soonest they could get me in for that was FEB 5TH totally awesome!!! :biggrin:So things are working so fast that it proves to me that I made the right decision to get the band done. That this is the right path I should be taking since I gave up on the baby thing after 11 yrs of trying. Any who....

So I am writing a letter to put in with my packet I send to the bariatric doc to let him know the names of my doc's and that he'll be receiving stuff about my blood work, sleep test and psych eval shortly.

Here is my concern though..I looked up about this Fastin pills and I'm really nervous.....Has anyone been prescribed this and how well did it work for them?? I am nervous about the addiction and side effects part of this pill..not so sure if I should take it......I mean it said you can get addicted to it...like we dont have enough problems with being tired all the time, addicted to eating and addicted to nicotine (quitting that by the way) now my PCP wants to put me on a addictive diet pill that can make me irritable and sleepy and addicted....come on where was his brain on that one....??? LOL

ty for all the responses....glad to hear it...thanks
