Hi Everyone!!
After what seems like "FOREVER" I'm approved! My surgery date is scheduled for 11/3/09. I can't wait to move to the next phase of my weightloss journey!
THANK YOU to all of you who have been so encouraging and helpful with your words of wisdom and understanding. I see my life changing for the better right before me and I thank God for granting me this blessing.
Have a FABULOUS day!

Does anyone have any suggestions, or leads, or names of people we can talk to at the restaurants about eating there as a Bander? I have substantial restriction so it takes me an hour to eat a salad, while my husband can hoover a plate or two. I'm thinking the buffet would be great so that he is eating to his heart's content and can be patient while I'm trying to finish my food, but cannot see myself paying $21.95 or more for my single plate at buffet places. I'd like to pick and choose what I'd like to have instead of having to order from the menu, and was wondering if they'd let you weigh by the pound and pay for what you get?
And of course, who do you recommend if there is a Lapband emergency?
