So my first appointment with my PCP was last monday. I was told id probably have to do a 6 month diet, but I am on WW so it would go back from the day I started WW.

I left for a cruise on Thursday, and I already had a letter in the mail dated last Wednesday saying I was authorized to see the surgeon! Can you flippin believe that? I thought it would be late april or May that I could finally schedule an appointment with the surgeons office.

Now my first orientation class is next Friday 4/3. Its 2 1/2 hours and they will by then be able to tell me what Ill have to do before seeing the actual surgeon! Im so happy I cant believe it. This is going so much faster then I expected!

I am so happy for you. My appt to talk to my doc about the lapband is Apr. 8th. I am so excited. I am hoping I don't have to wait the 6 months. I would like to have my surgery before the summer while my kids are still in school. All I can do is just pray it works out for me. Good Luck... :rolleyes2:

Congratulations . . . that is very fast. You should be banded and working on your new life in no time.
