"Hi" and "Thanks" thebandedgirl, RestlessMonkey, and FailureIsntAnOption. "Congrats!" on your recent weight loss elcee. The way I see it, any amount of weight loss is good.
I went to the seminar last night. I was happy to see that one of the actual doctors from my local bariatric center was the speaker. He provided us with a lot of info and seemed pretty realistic on the risks. He had all of the statistics and such. You could even schedule a consultation there, which I DID! I feel like I'm moving a little fast but I keep telling my self that I'm just looking into it. I'm just making sure I'm a candidate. Luckily my insurance covers the surgery 100%. I just don't know about how long of a weight loss attempt I have to show before I can proceed. The center has a weight loss center for presurgery and I am psyched to start there. I mean, I'm going to have to change my entire diet anyways, I may as well start six months early.
They had a Realize vendor there and I did get to hold the band and port and see how they attach it and all. I have to say that seeing it was pretty nice and I am leaning towards that band now, but I have much more research to do first. . . I think there is an entire section of this site devoted to the Realize band. Going to check that out now.
So, here's a question. How do you add a signature to this system? I'd like to put my dates under my name. Can anyone help?
