Well, I have thought about this for a few years, but I had never said anything to my husband about me being interested.  We had watched a few television shows about it on TLC.  I looked into it on my own by doing research.  I was not heavy enough to qualify for insurance and we could not afford to pay for it out of pocket.  Now, about 5 years later, I am hevay enough.  I don't have any diagnosed co-morbidities, but I can feel a difference and I can tell it is affecting me (when I am being really honest with myself).  Then, my husband mentioned it to me and said that he thought it was a good idea.  I thought it was really wierd because I had been looking a month before that into what my options were.   I made an appointment for a consultation for the next week.  I hope to get the band in January 2010.  I have to be self pay because my insurance will not cover anything (they say I have a pre-existing waiting period that extends until this policy expires).  I have my financing in place, have an appointment to meet with the surgeon tomorrow and do labs.  Cardiac Stress test on Friday (d/t my dad's cardiac history).  Hopefully, everything will work out for the best.
