Hello everyone, I am new to this forum, but I love all the support it has to offer, I was up all nite reading all the posts, trying to help get my mind right for the surgery. I went to a seminar, in fact I went to 2 one in North Carolina where I now live and one in Virginia where I moved from. I have to 6 month supervised diet so in my mind I got time b4 the surgery, but the dr already has me set for psych eval on Dec 30, and a consult with him on Jan 6(whats the rush) . I am a diabetic type 2, and have struggled for years with my weight, I take insulin twice a day, and I want to stop. My pcp agrees that the lap band surgery may be a good choice. I think about the surgery 24/7

Welcome to LapBandTalk!

Those 6 months will be over before you know it. I think having pre-op testing throughout that time might keep my more motivated though I ended up doing all my pre-op testing at once.
