I am scheduled for December 29th.....great way to start the new year, right? I imagine I will be on my liquid diet thru the holidays, and that sucks, but will have to be a testament to how much I want this..... When I was first scheduled I was incredibly anxious and nervous, now I am becoming more excited to get this show on the road...=)

My surgeon requires I enter all my health information onto w website called RemedyMD BEFORE my initial visit. Anyone elses surgeon require this? I heard it was for research purposes. I dont like giving my health info to a third party internet site without knowing exactly what they are doing with it.

I am a new Christian, and started the Lapband journey before giving my heart to Jesus. I have been struggling with the decision about whether or not to go through with this, and what to I see, THIS THREAD. I will continue to pray for guidance, and know the Lord will have his way. Thanks again!!

Hey guys.....I haven't posted for awhile probably because I felt like my appt was so far off. I am going to Florida for a week, and then my appt will follow. I am still worried my insurance won't pay, cause I'm right there on the line. :-( We'll see!!

Nay, i do have the 6 month wait, but my appt with Watson is not till June, i am thinking of switching to Hodge, not to get in sooner, but because i have heard he has a better bedside.

Sorry to hear about your setbacks. Do you have to do the six month wait? If so, at least it won't postpone your surgery. What did you think of Hodge? I am thinking of switching from Watson to Hodge.

I assume, even though you are talking in the third person, this is your personal experience. Please correct me if I'm wrong) What was the reason you wanted to see the ultrasound before the abortion?

An assumption was made about what I posted, I made an assumption about the reply to my post.....how is that accusatory? Personally, i think the reason people can't have a civil conversation about abortion is because it always breaks down into name calling and personal attacks. gagetlady=When someone opens up a line of discussion on a public forum, it is not an invasion of privacy for someone to ask questions related to that issue. I didn't open a line of discussion about whether or not I had an abortion.

No, that would be the wrong assumption. I was there to support a friend. Why do you want to know if she looked at the ultrasound? I assume it's because: 1. How could she look at an ultrasound of her 'baby' and then have an abortion? or 2. Why didn't she look? Did it make her feel sad to look @ her 'baby' and then have an abortion? I only posted because you stated mother's are not allowed to look @ ultrasounds in abortion clinics because 'it's bad for business' and I knew in this case it wasn't true. It would be intersting to know which side of this debate throws around false statements the most.

This really rang true for me. When I was in PT school, I was working in a clinic, and had a PT from the Phillippines supervising me. He didn't get any slang or sarcasm-and to make matters worse, we are in the heart of Appalachia!!!! It was so fun messing with him at times, and he would do the same to me, by acting like he had no clue what I was trying to tell him, and then bust out laughing at me.

Good Luck!!

Congrats!!!!
