I am feeling so impatient this past two weeks. For the past 6 months I did my doctors visits and now that all my tests are done and I'm just waiting on the insurance to give the go ahead I am so irritated by it all. I had my last doctor visit Oct. 11, called my surgeon on Oct. 18th and PA said all was good, just needed the doctor to double check it before he could send it into the insurance and would call if there was anything the doctor had questions on. That was almost 2 weeks ago and I haven't heard from them so it must have all been ok. So in my right mind I know that the insurance could take up to 4 to 6 weeks but in my unrealistic mind I'm hoping it could be today. I just want to get my surgery done. I wasn't so excited or impatient until I started reading lapbandtalk. Maybe I should quit reading it until I hear from my doctor again.

I know this sounds silly but my nails need done and I don't want to pay to get them done when I know I have to take them off for the surgery. And then on the other hand it could be a month until I even hear from them!

Maybe I'm feeling this way because my job is about done. I work at a golf course and today is our last day of the season. I will still go in to do my office work but I don't have much work to do so ... I read posts! Ok so my whole plan was to work this all out so that when my job was done for the season I'd get the banding and be on my way to losing weight.

I absolutely hate being fat! I hate to look in the mirror and when I accidently see my reflection in a window I cringe.

UPMC - call me!!

Why do you have to take your nails off for the surgery? This is the first I have heard of this. I'm considering be banded next month. As such, please tell me more.
