I'm jumping on the BAND wagon
Hi everyone,

I had my first visit with Dr. Spivak on 11.30.05. I had a few problems with insurance but that is supposed to be straightened out now. I should be approved any day now and I hope to have surgery the last week of October. I am very excited and scared at the same time. I have been reading posts off and on since last November so I feel like I know most of you. I haven't posted very often but I plan to be regular from now on.

I look forward to getting to know all of you!

yea I sure hope so all this waiting gives me to much time to think and when I think on something to long especially this surgery it scares me to death and in some cases I back out!! But I don't think I will this time I've reached an all time high of 360 and I want to at least be around 200 and in my opinion I cant do it alone.
