The Journey Begins

This is my first blog posted and I just joined this site today. Friday I went to my very first seminar and it was very informative. I can make my appt to see a surgeon and discuss the lapband with him/her on Tuesday. This is my problem, I do not have a primary doctor and need a referral for my first visit with the surgeon and without it I can not start my process. Now will a primary doctor give me a referral with my first visit or is that something I have to wait on?   Also since my GYN is the first one who suggested the surgery for me will he be able to give me a referral just to get the ball rolling? I am going to get me a primary doctor because I know I have no choice and need one for clearance, I just want to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible. Any advice?

Please Stop It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you guys know, I am just getting started on this weight loss journey. I have my doctor's appt the 13th of April and meet with the surgeon on the 27th. I know this is a big decision and for the most part I am so excited. But now people are telling me that I shouldn't have surgery because it is dangerous and blah blah blah. Not for nothing it is really pissing me off and I don't know what to do. Any advice?

Lapband Or Gastric Bypass

April 27th is the first meeting I have with my surgeon to decide what surgery I want to do. I am so excited about it and really thought I wanted the lapband, now I am not too sure. I think I might want to do the gastric bypass. I know I have plenty of time to decide and want to know if this is normal to go back and forth about what surgery to get. Can you guys tell me if any of you went thru this, and what at the end made you decide to get the lapband?
