So I am having my sugery at the Tampa general hospital. I am excited got my info packet in the mail, have already started with my monthly dr visits, and am waiting to go to the new patient meeting and offically start my process. I am hoping everything goes smoothly, and I can be in and out by July. I guess anything is possible. June 14th is the day of my orientation, if anyone else is going through or has had there wls done in Tampa friend me I would love to know the speedyness of this process.

I was all prepared to go to Tampa today and attend my new patient orientation. Instead I ended up running errands to ensure my mom and mother-in-law got there mothers day gifts shipped out in time. Not to mention my moms bday is the 14th so I had to send her bday gift. I am still suffering with a bruised and contused hand, from a four wheeling incident I had on Sunday. I am hoping things ease up soon. Either way I have to go see my dr 4 mour months before my insurance will approve the lap band. I heard you can go to see 2 dr a month and it would count as long as it is weight related, is that true? Till next time stay blessed

I am glad to see there is a group for wls in central florida. I have just started the process and will be going to my meetings tomorrow. I have 3 more months worth of dr. app. left for my insurance to cover the procedure.I am open to any advice or suggestions to quicken the process. I also am trying to lose 20lbs for the summer, and am workig on toning up so my sugery dosent leave me extra saggy. I have a lot of goals hope I have the motivation to follow through.
