Today I took the first step to finally getting rid of this extra baggage that has been with me for FAR too long. My Tri-care DR put in a referral today for the surgeon. My Lap-Band group meeting is on the 23rd. I will post that day, or the day after!:smile2:
I braved the blizzard warning, and traveled the 120something miles (One way) to go to my seminar last night. The Surgeon was very informative, even though I found out most of my information here on the site. I was worried because he said several times that you must have a BMI of 40 or more. After the seminar, I was able to ask him about it. He said that he himself thinks that I would be a perfect candidate for the surgery, and he wouldn't have a problem doing it. So now I need to wait on the Nurse to contact me. Wait wait wait. Will keep you posted.
