Tonight was the informational seminar.

I'll just get my negativity out of the way:
I was thuroughly unimpressed with the fact that my registration request did not actually get processed (no one who signed up online had their information process through), and I was un-impressed that the gal (Karen) who runs the insurance information and schedules initial appointments was not at the seminar. The gal who gave the testimonial was a little dour, and off-putting.

On the brighter side, Dr. Oh has a wicked sense of humor (perhaps a little on the morbid side...right where I like it), and gave a thurough explaination of each of the procedures and their pros and cons. After all the research I'd done I was opting for the DS surgery, but after the seminar, I think I could totally rock the Lapband.

I cannot believe all the costs involved....I consider it an heavy investment into a longer, much more successful life.

I got it! I got it! My insurance card that promises my coverage as of January 1st. You don't understand...or maybe you do. Not only does this mean that I can get a health check, but this insurance seems to cover WLS!

*dances around* January 4th information seminar, here I come!!
