9/29/10 Paperwork has been put in

Sep 28, 2010

All the paperwork has been submitted to Ins. Now I'm waiting on the OK...  I'm totally excited but scared at the same time. I don't mean scared because of the surgery.  I mean scared that I am so excited and they might say no.  Please be in prayer.

9/1/10 Update

Sep 01, 2010

Yesterday I found out that my doctor could no longer do my surgery due to my insurance.  I came home last night from my appointments in NY with pain in my side and wanting to just lie down and cry.  I went to the ER and found that I have Diverticulitis and a spot on my kidney that they think is a cyst.... When it rains it pours..
So today Doctor Valin's office called and told me that they are willing to accept me as a new patient.  I got an email from my doctor telling me that he could refer me to a doctor in ct that I would like. And that I would be in good hands with.  Come to find out its the same doctor I already found.  Funny how things work.. So my surgery is on..just waiting for my first appointment with the new doctor.

Well, I made up my mind.  I know I wont be able to eat all the meals I enjoy after this month so I have decided to make each one of them at least once and enjoy eating them.  After they have been made once the recipe goes OUT THE WINDOW..

Getting started again after 3 years. Support Needed

Aug 13, 2008

I've been gone for 3 years now just trying to do what I can on my own. I gained back 30lbs that I lost when I first got my band put on.  I think I'm finally done.. I think I can I think I can.. No I know I can I know I can. At this time I'm on weight watchers till I can go get the band adjusted in Sept.  I really really need support. I feel so alone. I want to start a support group in Norwich CT for banding and gastric but I'm not sure how to do it. Can anyone help?  Well keep me in your prayers and thoughts.
