Hi everyone! I'm Susan. I went to the Lap Band Seminar last night at a local hospital, and I am so excited and ready to get started!! I have seriously considered weight loss surgery for about 6 years. I am anxious to get the ball rolling... my goal is to be half the woman I am today... literally. LOL I want a better quality of life... and be able to do more with my kids and not let my weight hold me back. :biggrin:

Thank you very much for the nice welcome! I am so excited. :biggrin: I just called my insurance company to verify benefits, and make sure the surgeon I've chosen is "in-network". He is! WOOT!! Now to get my referral and medical records. I am dying for my first appointment!! :biggrin:

it will all fall into place quickly (l hope)....enjoy...its so funny how the different plans are so different....We meet the surgeon right away and then do all the other class's we have to do...Then they submitt to insurance..lf you get your approval they book you for surgery...no 6 month diet plan..some people have to go for GI series etc...its just so confusing..that coming from someone whos been a nurse for 25 years...lol...Be good...enjoy
