Possible September Banding

[kband72 0]

Im getting a little more excited, I went to see my PCP today, and to my suprise she completed the recommendation form, and said she really feels that once may weight decreases, the sleep apnea, hypertension, and insulin resistance would most likely go away. She originally did not agree to the band, but reviewed info about it, she now says that it would be my best option to use in long term health and weight control. (What I have left to do?) I have just 2 nutrition visit, which 1 is this coming Monday and another 1 , is 25 days from the first 1, have to go to a support group meeting this month, followup with the surgeon and wait on the insurance, which stated that it can take anywhere from 7-21 days for approval. So Im looking to be banded by the end of September.

Congratz, to everyone that will be banded in September or October. Woo hooo--

I have a question for you guys, Have you went to a Lap Band Support Group?

I went yesterday, and it was wonderful. Very supportive and informative. It was mandated that I go to 1 support group meeting. But I will be going back next month. They give great feedback regarding the experience, recipe ideas, etc.

I had to go to one also. It was mandatory bit for me I wasn't into it. I probably won't go back. I know they say it's good to go to one but it's not for me.
