Wink Re: Stoked in Georgia!

Welcome!! Wow you got your approval without doing your pre test first?? that great , I have to go through all of my pre test first before my Dr. will even send it in because the tests are a requirement. I didn't know they did the band at Southern Regional wow that is so close to me, I'm in Forest Park but I'm having my surgery at Perimeter surgery center with Dr. Hart thru True Results hopefully sometime in Dec. Good luck to us all, I can't wait to start the new year working on the new me.

Since I have some medical issues related to being overweight, my doctor was able to get me approved and I am just so excited!

So far, I've been to the seminar, had a mammogram, and done one sleep study. I have to go to another sleep study next week and try it with the cpap.
I have my psychiatric evaluation and meeting with the dietitian both scheduled.

I guess I still need to go to some support meeting too.

Anyway, I'm Paigey and I just wanted to introduce myself.
I welcome any and all advice!
