I am new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I am a 55 year old female from Central NC and am in the process of going through my presurgery waiting. I am in my 5th month of a long 6 month insurance required diet and excercise Dr supervised program. I have currently lost 18 lbs and am praying the insurance co will approve me. I am hoping for an April banding.....

I have Diabetes and Acid Reflux as well as Sleep Apnea. My goal is to get off the pills for Dia and AR as well as sleeping without my machine.....I would also like to lose a little weight..About 80 lbs would be nice....:tt1:

Everything I have read on this forum sure is encouraging and makes me anxious to "Get R Done"....:cursing:

Hey Suz, welcome to lapbandtalk. A lot of us had to do the 6 month supervised diet. It sucks, but what can ya do, eh? Hang in there. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your insurance to approve. Good luck!
