@ Tanya- thanks for the advice about youtube.. I will look that up right now. @ Amanda1982- I know it will probobly be a long process.. Im just going to ride it out because my insurance has the 6 months of controlled diet program... (yuck) but I figure it will help me. @ Kimma34- I have the support of my husband and mother.. other than that I am doing this on my own. I choose not to tell anyone for possible ridicule or judgement and I really dont need it at this point. I just want to be happy with my decision and need positive people around. So I will be doing what you are too and coming here for encouragement. There is lots to be found on here. I wish us all good luck!! We are gonna look HAAAWT!!

Hello everyone! I am somewhat new to forums. I joined some time ago but this is my first actual introduction post. I am very excited to start my journey for lapband! I am very certain that this is the type of surgery that I want. I will be attending a seminar by the beginning of next month and can not wait! That will be my first step to getting this party on the roll. My insurance is BCBS of Delaware and I will have a 6 month structured diet program to follow, so while doing that I plan to stay busy and keep researching and browsing blogs that talk about their experience with the band. It will keep me motivated in this wait! I can not wait!!!!!

I just came from my seminar tonight and I have my initial consult on Thursday. I have BCBS of DE and they are requiring me to have a 6 month supervised diet. So hopefully I will start with my first visit by the end of this month or early next month. I am also tetering on the edge of the 40 BMI for the surgery and I dont want to loose too much weight where I will be disqualified for the surgery.. Im anxious to loose weight though! Mewizza- Thanks for adding that.... I just saw that you commented on the BMI worry..

Thanks for posting this. I just signed up for my food diary. I plan to go to a seminar by Febuary and I have BCBS of DE. So I have the 6 month diet plan too. I am hoping that I can cut a month out if I can and get surgery asap! Thanks again!

If you dont mind me asking, who do you have for an insurance provider?
