hi everyone im from chicago. i am in process of going through all the steps before my surgery. already had my blood work done, i am in the process for sleep study test. i saw my doctor once already have 3 more visits. I still need to have a phyc evaluation and i have to attend a support group before i get banded or the insurance does not cover the surgery. i just wish i can just go in and have it done already. the waiting is making me crazy. i am so ready. i will keep posting as i have more things done.
