A ? for those of you who used Dr. Speigel... How long from your first visit (seminar, whatever) until you heard from them...? I attended their seminar and had a brief one-on-one on October 22. My husband and I both left with the impression that I would get a call from my case worker that week, but I still haven't heard anything. Should I call them? I'm anxious to get the process moving along. If my insurance isn't going to cooperate, I need to know so we can switch when open-enrollment comes around in February. Thanks in advance, Nana

I actually quit lurking and registered just so I could reply to this thread. I'm at the very beginning of the investigative process, so I'm learning a lot, but wanted to share something that works for me. I buy spring Water in the 16 oz bottles, by the cases. I have baskets or cubbies all over the house and disperse a case as soon as I get home. There are bottles EVERYWHERE. By the computer Under every end table and night stand On the magazine stand next to the toidy At my work table On top of the dryer Basically anywhere in the house that I MIGHT be standing or sitting when the first flicker of hunger or thirst hits me. I grab a bottle and toss off 1/3 to 1/2. Then leave the bottle sitting there. My family knows to hold on to their's, only mom can leave recapped bottles "out". I used to struggle and fight to get down 1 to 2 bottles of water per day. After I started doing this, I can effortlessly empty 3 or 4 without even thinking about it. Have a good day. I'm off to my first Lap Band Seminar and 1-on-1. Renan
