felt really sad while getting dressed for work. I can't wait to be able to look in the mirror and feel good about what I see.

Wow your pics are amazing!! Such an inspiration! I have been curious how a younger person's skin might bounce back. Keep us updated on your decision.

Finally got the mess with the doctors sorted out. Everything is being submitted to insurance now & I should hear back next week!! This is such an exercise in patience!

Found out yesterday that my doctor has STILL not submitted my medical clearance!! It's the only thing holding up my surgery! ARGH!!

ARGH! I can't stand waiting for other people to get their stuff together and do what they need to do with my paperwork & lab results! How long is this going to take?!

Wow you all make my doctor sound super expensive. My surgeon's office charges a $950 program fee which is supposed to include nutritional/fitness consults, 24-7 support, support groups and large gift bags of protein and vitamins to start you off. I felt like it was super expensive but I went with him because they are a center of excellence and a friend of mine recommended it. Insurance is paying 100%, I figured $950 isn't bad for the whole thing considering. Wish it was more like $200 like some of you though!!

I had my first consultation today!

I had my first consultation today too! I also did my nutrition and psych evaluations at the same time. I'm just waiting for my primary care doctor to submit the last of my lab work results to the surgeon's office. I also went in wanting the band and it seemed like the surgeon really emphasized how much more work the band is. He almost had me thinking about changing to the sleeve too, but I just can't accept the idea of removing or rearranging parts of my insides. I think the band is the best choice for me and I'm pretty excited about it. I guess I'm just in disbelief that it will happen for me still. Perhaps it will feel more real once I get the phone call to schedule my surgery date. Good luck to you!! -
Before: A little TMI but I'm hoping the change will be dramatic enough to warrant these photos. :-P
