Click on the phrase "your signature" in my last post -- it's a link to the signature edit page.

:cursing: Ok I needed to give everyone a up date on me cause I haven't been on for a while . After I went to see the phys. doctor they called me back and told me I needed to go to the local mental health to get a clearence letter from one of there doctors. And I went (why they wanted this I dont know) but any ways I went and they gave them the clearence letter. I got to go tomorrow and take my nutrition class then after that I got to go do a upper GI and some lab work and a cardio test then talk to the doctor and than off to the road to a new life. So things are starting to roll in the right direction for me now :redface:

Hey Jason,

It is very typical to require a psychiatric evaluation. Lapband is a major surgery and requires a big commitment on your part. They are also concerned that people with active eating disorders not be banded before dealing with those. So it was just to make sure that you're mentally and emotionally stable and able to handle the surgery and everything that goes along with it.

Sounds like things are going right along for you. Good luck!

Best of luck Jason, and remember your not alone. Just look at these boards. We are all here to help.

I'm English, so the difference brightened my day.

Anyway, back to the important stuff, great news about your approval mate. i hope all the rest goes just as swimmingly!

Congratulations! I'm still waiting for my psych appt I hope it goes well. I hope your journey is quick and stress-free!

Well everyone I got good and bad news the good news is I completed everything except my heart clearence I went to South Carolina heart center and seen Dr. Grainger he did a EKG and he told me I had some adnormality on the test and wants me to have a stress test done before I get a clearence. :scared2: So everyone please pray for me !!!!! LORD GOD I hope nothing is wrong. I go tomorrow to get my stress test done and I will keep every one posted on the results. And if everything is good I will go to the next step and consult with the Dr. and then get my surgery date :thumbup:

Congrats! I passed my psych eval last week but I still have 5 months nutritional classes. Good luck!

Good luck on the stress test. I'm sure they are just being extra cautions. One way to look at it is if they do find a problem, at least it was caught and you can get it fixed. That's something we don't want to suprise us. Best wishes, keep up up to date. ND fan here btw, love the USC/ND rivalry, but not of as late.
