Deciding

I saw a brochure for a lap-band seminar, and for the first time considered that losing my 90 pounds of "baby fat" might require more than yet another do-it-yourself diet. My doctor happily gave me more information, and I also researched AIGB on-line. A few days later, my 300 lb diabetic husband and I visited a support group, and both made the decision to go for the band. We already knew from talking with his co-workers that his insurance would pay 100% for qualified patients to have the operation. I went for my diagnostic visit, where I was told that I had to come back for four months of counseling, testing, and evaluation before surgery next spring. They also told me that I'll have to pay 10% up front, plus my co-pays for each visit, and $100 for each fill. Doesn't sound like 100% coverage to me! My husband is going back to his regular internal medicine doc Tuesday, and I plan to tag along to ask questions.:mad:

This week

After I went to the diagnostics Monday, I was very let down. It feels as if I am in Limbo until my first visit with the dietician and second weigh-in next month. The good thing (?) was that since I have received absolutely no diet or exercise instruction yet, I am saying farewell to food by enjoying all of everything I want to eat at all of the Thanksgiving feasts and family get-togethers at my kids' places. :hungry:
