OK... So here goes, i have my first appt with Dr.Simpson in Az on the 15th it was supposed to be on the 8th and they changed it, i feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas!!!! I can hardly contain the excitment that i feel at the prospect of not being FAT.I always felt that having the band done was a cop out and that there was no reason i could not just get up and get going and do this myself....Well i have now decided that doing something is better than nothing right?:thumbup: Anyway, i have UHC and the pay 90/10 i feel i am worth 10%!RIGHT!! i am convincing myself of all of this as i write it.:thumbup: I will write more as i go but for now i guess this is it. I can't wait!!!!!!:smile2:
