Hi! My name is Janet and I am new here. I am 3 and 1/2 months into my 7 monthly consults with my PCP for insurance purposes. I just found out this week that I have sleep apnea, yea me. So that goes on my list of co-morbidities, along with hypertension. At the rate I'm going I need to hurry up and have my surgery before they find anything else wrong with me! I am very excited about getting banded even though I still have a bit longer to wait. I am trying to incorporate healthier ways of eating now... but this is not the time of the year to be eating healthy. Well, that's my story and here I am.:rolleyes2:

Hey all . . . I'm in Georgia too, near Athens . . . I have "jumped through all the hoops" and have insurance approval . . . pre-op is Dec. 21 and surgery is Dec. 29. I'm having very mixed feelings but since I've struggled with weight issues for years, and with sleep apnea, high blood pressure, bad back, no energy....it's time to bite the bullet and move ahead for better health!

Good luck to you.

Barbara
