Anyone having surgery in Richmond, VA?

I am having my surgery July 28th. I have been extremely excited however now I am starting to get scared and wonder if I am doing the right thing. Can I make this lifestyle change?

I've been trying to have Lap Band Surgery for over a year. I went to my first seminar April 2007. I have been to every meeting required. I jumped through every hoop the insurance company required and yet they sent me a denial letter. I was devastated. I decided that I was going to give up that easy, I was going fight this, so I appealed the case. I met with a Nutrientist a few times, got a second psych evaluation, gather all my information together and sent it off to the claims appeal office. Two months later, I recieved word that I had been approved!! I can't beleive. I am in total shock. I am estatic! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Stupid question, how do you create a ticker on your profile?

One thing I'm not going to miss about being overweight is always feeling out of breath! :thumbs_up:
