hi every

looks like i am with the right insurance company now to make my

dreams of being able to get the lap band come true,

i am really nervous and excited all at the same time!

however, i am at a lost as to what to do to proceed...

i started the process on my own last year, but then had to have

three 3 other surgeries which put a hault on my proceeding with the

lap band.

i am on the Band Wagon again, with the

Psy. evaluation under my belt...good til april this yr.

the 3 hours class is completed

the doctor 6 month food log is done ish

and i paid for all those on my own, as that was when i

was with another Ins. company

so now that i am with Aetna

i hope they will speed up my process so

i can get banded before my psy. evaluation is no longer good...

any help on the best way to proceed would be greatly

appreciated...

also, if someone or someones can talk on

the food Journal

what you wrote, the format, what type of

booklet you use, grid, notebook, etc...

thank you all so much

I never did a journal.......... I am horrible about writing down what I eat... all docs, insurance and requirements are different......

Congrats on getting things right with your insurance, and hopefully you will be soon to get a date!

thank you for your supportive words...i am still not exactly sure what to put in the food journal;

i document like this:

breakfast: lunch: dinner: snack:

zone bar progresso chicken salmon glass red wine

expresso x2 noodle Soup salad 1 oz chz

that is the jist of it...

allot of work i think! uuugghhhhhh!

suggestions are welcomed...
