Well here is an odd one. My wife is not really liking the fact of me getting the lap band. I really do not know what to do. She is more scared that I will not be able to handle not being able to eat what I want. I am trying to look at it like its not that I wont be able to eat whatever I want, but more of how much I want. I know this is just a tool but I also feel that if I don't do this I will be dead in 5-10 years. Would love to hear other females/males perspective on what I should do or say for that matter.

Hello all, Just finished my 6 month supervised diet on Friday, paper work sent in on Monday, and got approved yesterday, and got scheduled today July 9th is my surgery date. VERY EXCITED and NERVOUS at the same time.

Hello all, Not really from central IL, but IL none the less. St. Louis area here. I just got my approval today and start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow.

Well it has been a little over a week since I went to the seminar, and I am almost done with all the pre insurance stuff. I have my dietician eval last Friday, pysch eval today, and meet with Dr. Wagner tomorrow. After that my PCP is going to write his letter for the Physicians supervised weight loss over the past couple years. I am also going to go to the dietician for the next 6 months as a just in case. So we will see. Getting excited and nervous at the same time. I will keep everyone informed.

Thanks for the info, I am actually going to the seminar tomorrow morning so I am pretty excited and nervous at the same time. I have also found out that my insurance compny will pay for it as long as it is medically nessesary. Which it is. Anyway I will keep everyone posted as to what is going on. Thanks Gary
