I am trying not to be that annoying patient that calls all the time….but I have my initial consult next Tuesday and the doctor’s office requires paperwork and most of all my 5 year weight history. My OB/GYB sent in the fax 2 weeks ago and I sent the rest the day after asking to confirm if they got all the paperwork. Nothing ....no phone call. So, last Thursday I sent an e-mail asking to confirm if all paperwork received. And still nothing. Today I called and I had to leave a message. ...

Hello,

I started looking into have the Lap Band being done but I could not afford it , until I found out that my husbands insurance covers it .. Thank God I would not be doing this other wise...

This is my first blog, so please forgive me...

I am about 6 days into my pre-op diet.. The week was good, I drank my shakes, ate grilled chicken with a salad or with broccolli, but then the weekend came. I stuck to the diet, but it was realy hard at times. I took my mom to the horse races and my dad had a pizza and a beer. I don't think I ever wanted a pizza and beer as bad as i did just then... but I was a good girl and stayed away.

I am getting both excited and scared...
