Consultation...
Hey gang,
Christina here, well my first consultation with Dr. Peters went very well. He is the nicest guy ever
, he suggested that because of my age, and the fact that my husband and I would like kids, SOOOON (God knows we've been tryin', LOL
) that I stick with the Lap-Band, but totally up to me, he says.
To be honest guys and GIRLS 
I am not very educated on that preceture (did i spell that right?), he explained to me that years ago they thought it wasn't as effective as they are learning now. Good news cause I thought it sucked, well better said it didn't do its "job" well. So back to the books I go, I need to fully inform myself via doctors, people, books.... you name it. Although I trust his judgement, anyhow Dr. Peters did say I would be much lighter on my feet (they kill me) and that with even a 20 lbs weight loss my diabetes may be cured (is cured the right word, i dunno if it is really ever cured) which would be awesome news for me.
So I have my little folder full of goodies, hehe.... i have to schedule an appt. with the heart and lung doctors, I figure I will do that A.S.A.P but I won't expect anything until January, then I move unto the PMRI center, I sure hope my experince goes better then others I have read about.
Dr. Peters informed me that the PMRI classes required $1200 CASH upfront anyone know what he's talking about I ask because in the paperwork he gave me it says $275.00, AND he gave me a number for St. FRancis who is said to be cheaper, however if i do the classes there i must get the suergy done there, kinda confused here 
LOL
OKie I think thats it 4 now, oh any Lap-band ppl out there would love to talk to ya.
AHHH b4 i forget my insurance does cover the band ( if I go with that) but we all know how that can go I might not get a choice, the insurance company does... heheh
