  1. I have my first appt on the 18th. I'm very nervous, yet excited. I am recently married, I'm 27, and weigh 241, and am 5'9. (I'm a male). I've battled with my weight for as king as I can remember. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, seizure disorder, back pain, and has a stroke in 2009. I am also on cumadin due to the stroke. I've tried to lose the weight and have been able to lose about 17 and then I get stuck and can't lose anymore. I may not be as overweight and others may be, but my primary care doctor and I feel this could be a positive change for me and expand my life. I have Medicare with Medicaid. I'm wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation as mine and what to expect. I guess I'm nervous that I won't qualify and insurance will deny me, although my primary care doctor and where I am going for LapBand assure me I do qualify. Any suggestions? Also wondering the general appts you have that authorize the surgery besides the 'diet Dr' and nutritionist. Thanks!!! [ATTACH]25366[/ATTACH]

    I have my first meeting on the 18th and they have me set up for two appointments back to back. One with what I call the diet Dr, as well as a second appt right after with the PA and the nutritionist. They said allow an hour for each appt, so two hours total.
