Hey there! I actually heard from her earlier this week. I rescheduled my EGD for Aug 6th and after that I will receive my surgery date. I have a question....what does " PB " mean? I guess it's something I will have to get used to huh?:biggrin:

Hi guys! I hope your fill goes well. I am going tonight for my 2nd half of the sleep study. Then next Wednesday I go for my EGD. Hopefully after that I can get my surgery date. Wish me luck!

I tell you what...I am getting too anxious I think ~ I'm ready to take that journey to a new life and start to feel better. I am going to have a serious conversation with Naomi.

OH that helps a lot! A girl I work with is going Thursday night to the seminar. I have to be there for the 2nd part of my sleep study so I am going to take her to the seminar then go to the sleep lab. I am getting excited now. I just hope after getting this taken care of I can finally get a surgery date!

That is great to hear. I was hoping he was a good dr. Thank ou for the encouragement. Maybe I will get there soon!

Oh we are doing great! Finally was able to move out of Center Point back out in Warrior. I am getting SO excited. I told Joe and Jim that this is going to be a new "lease" on life for me. I have been big my whole life and I was tired of it! I am going to do this for me and no one else! Let me ask you something....what all do you eat? Like fruits and veggies? Do you eat any sugar?

Hey you! I called Naomi like you said and she was rude. I don't know if it was because I sent her emails first or not. I have to have the EGD and the nutrition class. I am finishing up my 2nd half of the sleep study on Thursday the 31st. I am hoping to get my date soon!

OMG Shawna! I didn't know you were on here??? I got rid of my myspace account. I am a patient of Dr. Miles and I am waiting on my surgery date. I have to finish up my sleep study and then my EGD. I am getting excited! Message me back if you can! April

:thumbup:Congrats!!:biggrin: I pray that you have the most beautiful wedding you can ever imagine! Good luck!! ~April~

Yes I have! I was approved back in March! I just don't understand why they haven't set a surgery date as of yet. I have done the psych eval, first visit with Dr. Miles, the seminar, 1st part of the sleep study, and all I have left is the lap band support group and then the class. Have they set you a date yet? Should I just call her??

That is too funny!!!! Did you have any problems getting Naomi to help you out? I have emailed her twice now and I still have not received my surgery date. Any ideas why?

Hi All! I apologize, but I can not remember who went to Dr. Miles down here. That is who I am going to see. I have gone through all of the "red" tape, BCBS has approved me and I still have not been given a surgery date. When did Naomi give you a date? I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems in that area. I am with you on the c-section thing. I have had 3 of them and if you are in pain, I bet I will be too!

I don't mind! I am using Dr. Miles of the Alabama Weight Loss Center. I have heard good things so far about his group. I actually work with a lady who had gastric done. I tell you, this has been an emotional roller coaster for me.

Hi There! Congrats! I think you will do just fine. I have been wanting WLS for quite some time myself. What kind of insurance do you have?

Hi there! I am using Dr. Miles at St. Vincent's East. So far, I have heard good things. How much have you lost so far?

Hi there MaggiesMom! I'm in Alabama too, but I haven't been able to set a surgery date yet. I have done everything but the class and I still have not had a date set. Hope you are doing well and please keep in touch!

MaryAnn, I am exactly where you are right now today. I have gone through so many emotions during my "journey" that I am still wondering "Is all of this really worth it?" I was approved by BCBS back in March but I still have not received a surgery date. I have gone through EVERYTHING they require and I am to the point to just quitting - but then I look into a mirror and I hate what I see. I have to do this. I have come too far not to and it sounds like you have too. You are not going to be thousands of dollars in the hole and I can almost guarantee you do this for yourself - you will not regret it.

Aprilapple, First off I want to tell you that you are having your surgery on my birthday! I wanted to ask, how long did it take for you to finish everything? I have done my 6 months, seen the dr, did the psych eval, and part 1 of the sleep study. I'm at my witts end!:thumbup:

Hey there! I'm in Birmingham too!!!!
