Well, it all got approved and I'm scheduled on Monday, February 2. I have really struggled with the decision of what surgery to get - reading everything I can get my hands on and cruising this forum as well as OH. I have gone round and round, finally deciding on the lap band for the usual reasons . . . I am a little worried about five or more years out but will cross that bridge when I come to it. My DH doesn't really understand why I can't just excercise and watch what I eat. We have been together about four years so he missed all the ups and downs, he just arrived for the (hopefully) last up!!! After me talking about the details of the other available procedures during my research, he is absolutely on board with the band!!!
Hi, this is my first effort at 'blogging' so be kind . . . I'm going to try to keep track of my life since I decided to pursue a lapband. I live in Paradise CA, hence the cute headings, etc!
I just found out today that my insurance wants more info so I'm giving my doctor more releases in hopes the insurance company accepts the additional information as 'enough'. I guess although I have sleep apnea and use a cpap, it's not 'bad' enough. I do remember that when I had the sleep study I took Ambian and they said I slept pretty long, which I guess watered down my score. My cpap setting is pretty high, but whatever they want I'll try to provide!!
More later, it's getting late and I get up early so off to bed I go!! Bye for now . . .
