I have been denied

In the meantime, start visiting your doctor and/or nutritionist once a month - just for weight loss - in case you end up needed more records.

That is a great idea. I will make sure I set an appt. tomorrow just to go in for a weighth check.

Thank you for caring. I am glad there are others out there.

I can not really talk to my friends or most family b/c they try to talk me out of it or I feel judged. My husband is all for it and one of my sisters had the bypass. I am scared but I know if I want to keep weight odd I have to do it. I am concerned about the band becoming intwined(so to speak) with mu stomach. Yuck! Talk with you soon. Thanks again, Jones
