  1. That's great news!

     

    I will be leaving tomorrow morning around 6:30am to head to my consults. (I live about 90 miles from my clinic.) My first is w/ a nurse at 9am, the next w. the surgeon at 11:30, & last one is with the psych at 3:30. Don't know what I'll do w/ myself from 12:30-3:30, I'm pretty shy and kind of chicken about venturing out on my own in a strange city. Especially a large one with lots of traffic...my town has 1 stop light & all but 1 road are 35mph or less. LOL I don't expect to get home until late.

     

    I got the green light from my pcp on Tuesday. He was totally enthusiastic and will be behind me 100%. Yay!

     

    Good luck at your sleep study, I don't think I could sleep at all with all those wires attached to my head. I'm hoping I don't have to have one. :)

    Talk to you soon.

    What's it like where you live?

    I live less than 5 miles South of the US/Canadian border in NW Washington. Blaine is a very small town with a lot of traffic coming and going. My house is in a little subdivision outside the city limits but not quite out in the country about half way between Blaine and Birch Bay which is a sleepy little community that only hustles and bustles with tourists in the summer time. Stores and services are limited in the immediate area but Bellingham has it all and is only 25 or so miles away. We have all four seasons, summers are almost too hot and winters are perfect. At least for me, I was born and raised in Anchorage, AK.
  3. Hi, I am just beginning my journey and would love to have a Buddy/mentor to chat with. I have my nurse, surgeon, & psych consults all scheduled on June 4th. (I live 70 miles from my chosen surgery center.) I'm 99.9% sure once they submit for insurance approval I'll be told I need a 6 mo medically supervised diet, so that puts me having surgery in early 2011. I'm a married SAHM with four kids. I live in NW Washington State, will be banded in Everett. I am 5' currently weigh about 225. Looking to lose 100lbs. Thanks!

    Hello everyone!

    Hello!

    My insurance is through UHC. I don't have a specific Dr for the procedure yet. I have chosen to be banded over gastric bypass for a lot of reasons. It being less invasive, having a shorter recovery time, being adjustable and even reversible being at the top of the list. Sarah

    Hello!

    Hi I'm Sarah. I am just starting the process of getting lap-banded. I am scheduled to attend a seminar put on by the Northwest Weight Loss Center. I know I have some hoops to jump through for my insurance but I am excited. (My husband had gastric bypass done on March 5th, it took a little over a year from when he first started the process to finally get approval and a date. He's already down 80+ lbs since late January.) We have been married 13 years and have four kids ages 12, 9, 3 & 3. Looking forward to getting to know you all and learning from your experiences. :scared2:
