I started thinking about weight loss surgery, in particular the Lap-Band in the summer of 2009.   I was thinking that if my primary care Dr mentioned my weight and how I needed to do something about it at my upcoming yearly physical I would know I had really hit the bottom.    Well, lets just say that my GYN and my PCP both wanted to, and did have a conversation with me concerning my obesity.   I can't believe I am even saying that word much less writting about it on a public forum.    It was truely getting out of control and I was isolating myself in my home.  That was easy to do since I work full-time from home.  My GYN had given me the Surgeons card saying she had met her and felt she was a very good choice and that she was the one who started the program at the hospital she practices at.    So I went to a informational seminar and called the next day to set up my consult.   She says I am a good candidate.   I still have to have my EGD though to make sure my GERD has not done any damage.  I will update this as things progress, so long for now.....SunnyinAZ
