Hi All,
I have been struggling with my weight for the last 10 years. I decided to make a change this year. I tried for 3 months on my own and lost 8 pounds. I am at 40% BMI. I decided to go for the lap band. I have visited a nutritionist, psychiatrist, and my PCP. I submitted my paperwork and I was approved. The process took about 3 weeks. I will get my band on June 16th.
I must of shouted with joy for hours after I received my phone call. :biggrin2: I have never been so happy. I am ready to change and ready to better my health. My doctor is Dr. Choi at Memorial Regional in Miramar. He is very nice and his staff was great. I absolutely love the hospital it is a lot different then any hospital I have ever been to.
I bought my clear diet food and shakes and took 3 days off from work, JIC. I am nervous, but I have had several surgeries before and I hope this one works out just as well :laugh:
I am here to answer any questions about the process, if anyone has any about the process. I am thinking about the website, does anyone already have one???
