I got a call today from the Bariatric Surgery Dept. I go to a Surgeon's Class on the 23rd to meet with the bypass surgeon here. I'm hoping to then find out from him what I need to do to get the band.

Hi everyone,
I am in the process of being pre-approved for surgery. I began my journey on May 17, 2008. Time to hurry up and wait as we say in my house!
