Howdy Y'all

I was told I need to join a support group for lap banding and I decided that I would try this one. I guess I need to tell everyone a little bit about myself. I've had weight problems all my life. I was one of the youngest people ever to join weight watches at age 7!!! Since then its been a constant cycle of Fat...Thin...Fat...Thin. I've done it all in regards to diets. I finally decided I wanted to do the lap band. So in Oct. 07 I started my journey of going to see a doctor who then referred me to surgeon. I had no idea how long it would take to get to the point where I would even be allowed to have surgery. So I finished up my 6 month diet (required by insurance), and last week I had my nutritional evaluation and psychological evaluations. I was told today that I passed everything. I was a little worried about he psych eval :thumbup:!!! They said I passed, but I'm still a little nutty. So they are suppose to turn it into insurance today or tomorrow for final review and see if I get approved. I'm starting to get a little worried about that after reading this forum. So thats pretty much my whole story.

Well good luck and im sure you will do fine.

I believe you will find this site the MOST HELPFUL of any. I wake up daily knowing that people just like me are supporting me whether they know me or not. The is an almost spiritual kinship among us. I don't post very much, but just wanted you to know someone is thinking of you.

Welcome and good luck on your journey!
