I'm starting the process and could use some help.

Hi,

I'm a 29 year old single professional in Gainesville, FL. I am in the process of getting approved for lap band surgery. My primary care doctor has made all the referrals and I am waiting on my psych appointment and my surgery consult. I am fairly certain my insurance will be covering it. I have been overweight almost all of my life and currently weigh 305 pounds at 5'10". I think that 160-175 would be a reasonable goal. I am very excited about the surgery, but I could use a mentor to help. Also, I'd like to utilize all the things on this site, but I guess I need help with that as well.

Thanks!!!

Hello! I am 32 and have had my psyc consult and now I am going for my 2 week dietician consult tomorrow to see if I have lost anything on the 1400 calorie diet they put me on.. I am 244 pounds and 5'2. I am hoping to get to 150 or less.

Well yesterday my paper work was sent to the insuracne company for approval. I weighed in at the dieticians and lost 5#. Its a start. The physc consult wasnt what I thought it would be. Not bad at all.
