My husband and I were married Nov 23rd, and after I recieved my pictures of the wedding, I would have made Stevie Wonder pitty me. I looked like a cow, wrapped in a horse, wrapped in a whale! NO KIDDING.

After thorough research over the past couple of days, I have finally decided to go with Dr. Enochs in Cary, North Carolina. After reading posts about him and visiting his website ect, I have come to the conclusion that he is the doctor I want to perform my lap band surgery. Tomorrow I am hoping they call me to schedule an appointment since I watched his online siminar (which you have to have a password emailed to you to view, and another one to document via email you actually finished the video) He seems knowlegable and I cant wait until they call me.

I am praying that BCBS Federal (hubbies insurance) approves me, but from what I have read, I think they will. :biggrin:

I just told my husband that I was thinking about having the surgery last night and he was not too thrilled. Not with the surgery, but with the fact that I did not tell him it was something I had been thinking about for years. I am finally opening up to him about how I feel about my weight and my struggles, humiliations, and aches and pains. Still have not told him my weight though hehe. I am sure that will come soon enough...why rush it? :biggrin: He is very supportive and understands...well as much as a thin person who has never had a weight problem can understand. He loves me for me and that is more than I could have ever asked for. :thumbup:

"He is very supportive and understands...well as much as a thin person who has never had a weight problem can understand. He loves me for me and that is more than I could have ever asked for." I think I've written the same words here...My DH-Mr.SA (Skinny Ass) after he got over the "isn't this too drastic?" is supporting this process totally. It's nice to have support from your best friend! Welcome, and congratulations newlywed! -BG

Good for you.... I am still trying to decide for sure. I have been overweight my whole life and I am still worried that I will fail even with this.... Good luck.

I live in NC as well but am trying to decide which Doctor in Mexico I should have perform my surgery.

I live in rockymount nc and will be having surgery at the new nash surgical center by a Dr Christian Mann who works in Greenville NC and comes to Rocky Mount 8 days a month to perform these surgeries. All I have left to do is get my thyroid level normal and then meet with my surgeon to set a date. All appts ae complete.
