I made an appointment with Dr. Trace Curry in Cincinnati. I'll see him next Wednesday, November 8th, at 11:00am. What impressed me so much about Dr. Curry so far - without ever having met him -- is that he answered an email I sent to him, and I found out later that he wasn't even in town when he answered it! Wow. Talk about a doctor who has "checked his ego at the door"!!! I like him already. Everything seems to be falling into place already. I'll be covered with good insurance starting January 1st -- and have found out already that they do cover this procedure -- and I have three weeks of vacation to use if I need it. I'm aware that Dr. Curry requires me to have a psychological exam, and I don't know whom to see for that, but I'm sure that he will recommend someone. I'm excited. And so my journey to being healthy begins..... ***EDIT: Oops. I just realized that there is a place on these boards to journal. So, I'll mosey over there and repeat this post there as a journal entry, and then continue this there.

Thanks for the welcome to these boards, and for all of your comments, folks! Now I'll meander around to the Ohio section of these boards and see what's up there. I'll probably start a thread there detailing my experience through lap band land. ***EDIT: Instead, I began a journal which can be read here.
