Where Do I Go From Here???

[iHaveHope09 0]

Ok. I've went to the seminar... Got lots of helpful info... and A LOT of papers... but I just want to know in plain terms, what do I do from here? Should I start scheduling appts. with my physician??... should I go get evaluated?? should i go get my blood work done?.. I already know I am going to have to go on a 6 month supervised diet n exercise plan :cool2:.... But i guess thats just 6months thats going to have to go by anyway. I hate to sound so clueless, but I really have no support or help from anyone... So thanks in advance!... I honestly appreciate it:smile2:

Also, I just found out I might have to pay out of pocket a couple of thousand... I just wanted to clear that up.. Has anyone had to take out a loan or pay out of pocket for the remaining cost of the surgery??? :thumbup:

Well I would say talk to whoever your going to get the lapband through. I'm using TrueResults. They have someone that lays out the plan and walks you through the process to get to your surgery date. That includes helping with getting your appointments in order, insurance, etc.

Meet with the Lapband surgeon and his office will be happy to schedule some of the required stuff for you. The 6 months doesn't start until then, so give them a call soon.

Where are you located? You can get some great referals here.
