Pre Op Newbie

Hi !! My name is Terry I am in the process of getting the Lap Band Surgery . I started this in July 2006 When my wife and I attended the informational seminar that my Cardiologist recommended, it took till October to get my appointments for the Surgeons R.N., dietitian and psychological evaluation. I have an appointment to see the Surgeon November 9th to go over every thing one on one. Then they will take all that paper work and summit it to the Insurance company for pre- authorization. When they receive it they will then give me the next Surgery appointment witch will be in late December or early January. The Surgeon doing the surgery is Walter Medlin M.D., F.A.C.S from Saint Marys Duluth Clinic in Duluth MN. The Bariatric team feels that if you have to go though all the hoops and time that you are sincere and not acting on a whim or fad. I cant wait to get the surgery:clap2: but also somewhat scared. I am new to this Forum it looks very helpful and supportive.

Congratulations Oldgiesser. You have done an awesome job at juming through the hoops. It is very normal to get excited and scared at the same time. I even wanted to back out 2 wks 1wk and a few days before surgery. Thank God I didn't. LOL

This site is one of the best forums for a newbie to get the answers you are looking for. Ask a question or do a search and you will find something on the subject.

Good Luck

Your feelings are only normal, you'll have lots of different feelings before you get the band. Take some time and read all the posts on here and you'll gain lots of information that will be useful to you. Good luck, and welcome to LBT!
