I am new here, I attended the required seminar for LapBand. And i have my first appointment with my doctor on wed the 18th. I am rather nervous to find out what the next step is, a coworker of mine is going through the same steps, except she is already on to her psych eval.

I guess thats all for now!

Hello

I am also new to the program. I have completed all my appointments and I am waiting on my surgery date, which I hope is very soon.

Thank you everyone!

I have lost 32 lbs so far on my diet, I had my follow up appointment today with Dr. Bass and it went okay. They havent gotten into the details really about anything financial wise yet though, i know i need 800 before they will do the surgery. I have to go set an appointment for the psych evaluation which is luckily covered under my insurance. But then I need to pay 150 out of pocket to see a nutritionist. :sneaky:

Due to my jeep giving me some issues, and a pending student loan that needs paid off it looks like I am going to be holding off a few months before I do too much. I will get to the psych eval and then probably have to hold off before I head to the nutritionist, and get the money up for the surgery. Total i think they said to expect to pay close to 2,000 dollars. :lol:

Its definetely interesting though to learn about the process and see how everyone else does theirs, process wise, financially and everything. I applied for the financing and was denied.... it happens. Guess I will just have to keep plugging away at work and get there slowly but surely.

There is always hope.
