Hello Kat,

I have been reading alot of your posts and you seem to have a great sense of understanding this lap band thing. I am like alot of the others looking forward to this and afraid too. I always seem to look at the bad side affects to things. I first started checking this out last year and scared myself away. Since then I have gained another 10 lbs. I am 55 years old and have severe sleep apnea, high cholestrol and high blood pressure but never diagnosed by family doctor. I am so miserable I just don't think I can do this anymore on my own. Each time I go on a diet and fail I get more depressed. Humana requires me to go on a 6 month supervised diet before they will approve this. My fear is that I will give up by then. My first appt with doctor is Monday. Bariatrics said they will wait until August and start doing test such as stress, echo, pulmonary functions etc. Any others that you had? I will try to stay active on this site to keep myself motivated and hopefully not too many negative things will be posted. Reading your post has helped me alot. :thumbup:

Thank you,
