I am going to a seminar on the 26th in New London, any advice? Also, does anyone here have Tricare?

No advice really.Its fun! Dr. Ehrlich was at my seminar and he was very fun and gave a great detail description of how the surgery works. I have Anthem bcbs. He even passes around the actual LAP-BAND®. Its very informative.Good luck!

Hi Amy,

Advice? Sure! Take it all in... ask questions, bring someone with you if you can who can listen with you. Congratulations on taking the first step! Dr. E is really nice, easy to talk to and cares about his patients. He did my band on 6/16/2009 - as a matter of fact I'm going to see him today for a fill. Good Luck!

Thank you StarsZie! I'm excited but a bit nervous. This is something that has been in the back of my mind for a few years now and I finally decided to put myself on the list of important people and just go for it! Good Luck to you!

Nervous is good - means you are really thinking about things. This is a fun place to be too to bounce things off of. BTW... got my fill... i'm a happy camper again! :)

Well ladies, tonight is the seminar. I've been cleared by my primary doctor, my phyciatrist, and I have my nutrition appointment next week. Now I just need to see if I need to get any second opinion appointments on any of the stuff I've already completed. I hope not, I want to move forth with this. I am still excited, but my nerves are doing a number on me. I think my biggest fear is that I'll be left with sagging skin. I know that it is not a top priority for this journey, but I can't get it out of my head. Oh well, I just need to carry on and stop making excuses! I'll post again after the seminar.
