Hi there everyone! My name is Karen, I'm 30 (closer to 31) and I'm just getting started with my lap-band® journey. A little about me, I have 3 children, 2 girls and a boy. Ages 5, 3 1/2 and 7 months. My husband is in the Navy and we are currently stationed in Rhode Island. I am going to a WLS seminar on Wednesday. The doctors require it before even calling for an appointment. I have no idea if I will even be seeing either of the doctors doing the seminar but I figured I'd go to it just in case so I don't have to wait for it to roll around in September as it's only given once a month and my appointment with my PCM is on the 26th of this month. I need a referral from her before I can make an appointment with a surgeon. So, I have to wait and see who my insurance covers here for WLS. And even if it's not one of the doctors giving the seminar, at least I get some info. lol! I look forward to getting to know you all and joining you all on this journey.
