just beginning the journey

duweb · March 29, 2008

I'm in the very beginning of the lap band journey...the six month diet for medicare. I'm very anxious and want to do this asap. I'm 59 years old and want to see my grand children grow up. I want to be healthier and be able to walk for enjoyment without giving out. I've lost seven lbs and I'm walking several times a day. i have incentive, though. I admire all of you for the hard work youre doing since your bands! I can't wait to be one of you. My husband is going to do this with me and I think that will make the whole process easier. Is anyone else in Mississippi and did anyone else go medicare?

281 lbs in beginning...274 now...duweb:smile:

Hi, I just got my letter from the Maine Medical Bariatric Program and I am going to the Information session Monday. That will start my process. I have been waiting for this for 3 months:biggrin2:. So I have been dieting for that amount of time. I have only lost 4 lbs:embaressed_smile:. I am so excited that I am going to the meeting monday that I can hardly wait:biggrin:. Then it will be the wait for Meicare and Medicaid to approve me and the doctor ,hospital.:thumbup:
