Hi Hon,

I am lucky that I didnt have to wait to qualify ( UK self pay) I know that you have to do all sorts that would have really disheartened me!

Congratualtions on getting this far!

Dont worru about the surgery hon, I am 5 days out and other than being tender I feel fine.

Keep strong!

<p><p><p><p>I know exactly how you feel! I also had to do the 6 month Doctor Supervised Weight Loss Program for my insurance. I started in March and ended in August. Before I was finished with the 6 months I got everything else out of the way (psych eval. and visit with the nutritionist, etc.). I have had to do so many things to prepare for this surgery and it is not easy, but you just have to think about the big picture. Think about how the lap-band can change your life. My surgery is finally scheduled for tomorrow, and I could not be more excited! So yes, it is a long journey, but I really think that it will be worth all the waiting. Hang in there, it will be through before you know it!</p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p></p>
