My name is Christy, I'm 37 yrs old and have decided to take the Lap Band journey. My insurance requires a 6 month wait....which, during that time I need to meet with my PCP once a month (for a total of 7 visits), I need to meet with a physical therapist 2 times, a nutritionist 2 times, a psychologist 1 time as well as go to group meetings.

I've met with my PCP 3 times now, I've met the nutritionist, physical therapist. I need to meet my psychiatrist....been putting that off as my ins wont cover that, which means I have to come up with $450.

I've been overweight my entire life, I'm sick of being fat and want to start "LIVING LIFE" and not watching from the sidelines.....

I've recently quit smoking (3 weeks ago yesterday) and have started walking daily....

I hope to meet some friends and learn some things I didn't know about the lap band.....

Hope your journey will be without any problems. Quiting smoking it a very good thing also the walking.

It is good to be a part of the coversation it makes you feel more a part of everything. So start posting and meet new people. You can private message me anytime.
