Okay so as previously stated, I decided in April (2006) to do something about it (the dreaded pounds). I called my sister and asked her about her surgeon. She told me how to look him up online. I did:paranoid . I found his webinar. I tried to register online but they were having problems so I called him. I decided to at least go see the doc and see what he had to say :paranoid. Oh did I mention that I watched that webinar four times!!!:behindsofa: ?? Yeah I wanted to know exactly what I was getting into .

I decided on lapband surgery, it seems safer...just better all around. Plus recovery time is faster which is for me as I cannot miss too much school! And the weight loss is slower which is great for me also because I cannot afford to have surgery to remove excess skin :confused_smile: . I called my husbands insurance to see if the doc and the procedure was covered...OMG it is:clap2: !!!!

My first appt was April 24th...:Dancing_biggrin: I was so excited!

The doc said I was the perfect candidate...not too too heavy, no co-morbidities, and my age. so excited!! Gotta do the tests...no problem I'd do what ever they wanted to get this done. (the doc was impressed that I watched his webinar 4 times...lol)

You are on a roll.....good luck. Oh yeah psych majors should never :nono:diagnose themselves, just in case they are bi polar or have multiple personalities....:welldoneclap::croc::pound:

LOL.......that is too funny. Bi Polar -no ...multiple ---lol perhaps....but if that is the case, we are all in agreement on this decision...LOL
