    my journey

    APRIL 2006 My husband has decided to have lapband set up seminar with Dr. Speigel, we both went. On our way home we discussed me also doing it. I thought I might not be approved because even though I'm heavy, maybe not heavy enough. Do more research, always researching, do my BMI I'm just right there. So we schedule myself also. The end of April we get the approval from Ins. Co. The ins. co. called us to tell us our surgery date. I called the doctors office to make sure everything is a go. They tell me as of May 1st he is dropping United Health Care, our date was May 5th MAY 2006 Now we have serched and searched for a new doctor, finally found Dr. Robert Marvin. We really do not know that much about him, a co-worker of my husbands has a friend who used him and loved him. Searched on OH found good results. Okay we start the process again. June 6, 2006 Just got the call from doctors office. Surgery date is scheduled for July 27th. My husband and I are both having the lapband done on the same day. Our daughter is being so helpful, thankful she just lives right behind us, connecting yards. Very nervous about the afterwards, not the surgery itself. ObesityHelp has been a lot of help, I go to the lapband forum every morning. Its so addicting. We have a appointment 06-19-06 with the psyhc & nutritionist and to do blood work, I can't hardly wait till July. June 20,2006 We made our appointments despite the rain and flooding in Houston. Seems that everything went well. July 7,2006 We got a call from the doctors office yesterday, Mike (husband) has to go to heart doctor another test and I have to go get a scope done to check for any ulsers. I think every thing will be okay. 20 days and counting. July 19,2006 Nadine @ Dr. Marvin's office called wanted to know if I had seen the pulmonary doctor. Well no had not heard we had to. We are both smokers which we have quit and still tring to quit. It is very hard. So anyway she is trying to get us an appointment for tomorrow so we can get the results to him by Friday. Thats when we we go and see him. We only have 8 more days to surgery. I hope we make it. July 21,2006 We had our visit with the doctor before surgery. He wants me to go to the cardioligist for clearance. I did not get clearance, so my husband went ahead and got his band, even though he wanted to wait for me. He is doing super fine, already lost 25 lbs. Aug. 4, 2006 Had to have a heart cath done today and every thing came out good no blockage. I got my clearance for the surgery. Aug. 10, 2006 Dr. Marvin's office called and scheduled my surgery for Aug. 24th. Hooray!!!

  10. I have UHC and Dr. Robert Marvin is doing my lapband Thursday 08-24-06 He also did my husbands July 27th. He is a very good dr. and is staff is wonderful. You do have to go through alot of test, but he does not want any surprises while you are on the table. His aftercare has been wonderful also.
