Can't get my inbox message to reply to you...But I got yours and WILL DO! Keep ya posted

Thanks for your words!I haven't told many people that I'm interested because in the past the support hasn't really been there. I mean, if I do it My friends and family WILL support but they keep saying.."You don't need it..." Even the woman at the information meeting said that! Lol...But I'm 260...my BMI is 42 and I've been a big girl all my life. I managed to lose 50 pounds on my own and maintained it give or take 10 pounds, for 3 years...But I can't seem to get past that. My friend had the surgery a year ago and has lost lots! So...all that said...Thanks for the support!

Lol! What nerve INDEED! Thank you so much! I assumed that going to the interest meeting at WHC meant that's where all my appointments would be. Olney is not THAT far. I'm a little nervous about the staples that will be inside of my body forever....I thought the stomach was sewn closed. I'm nervous about what will happen to the tissues if the stomach eventually stretches later.

I called Bluepoint this week....do they charge any additional membership fees that are out of pocket? I just went to an informational session for a doc that charges a 600 dollar fee for nutritionist etc...

This feedback has really helped me! I just went to an informational meeting last night at Holy Cross. The doctor seemed cool. Knowledgeable and experienced but his office is in Frederick...over an hour from where I live. PLUS his medical group charges a fee of 600 bux. Which is an it of pocket expense. I am registered for a meeting at Washington Hospital Center next week...and was considering Providence as well. Did any of you have fees other than your co pay?
