HELLO FELLOW CHEESEHEADS!!
I AM NEW TO THIS GROUP AND LOOK FORWARD TO CHATTING WITH SOMEWHAT CLOSER TO HOME PEOPLE!! MY NAME IS JESSICA.I AM PROSPECTIVLY LOOKING TO GETTING THE LAP BAND PROCEDURE DONE.
I HAVE  ATTENDED THE SEMINAR, HAD THE APPT WITH THE NUTRIONIST,AND THE PSYCHOLOGIST.  I AM AWAITING A CALL TO SET UP AN APPT WITH DR THOMAS CHUA THE SURGEON. THIS WAITNG GAME IS MAKING ME BECOME VERY ANXIOUS. I JUST WONDER HOW I AM GOING TO BE IF AND WHEN I GET A SURGERY DATE. JUST CURIOUS AS IS ANYONE WHO HAS HAD HIM IN THE PAST AS TO HOW LONG IT TOOK BEFORE YOU HAD SURGERY FROM THE FIRST TIME YOU SAW HIM. I KNOW EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT BUT JUST A ROUGH IDEA FROM EVERONE WOULD BE NICE.

 Hi Char! I live in Southern WI as well (Walworth - but grew up near Chicago) and have traveled thru your town plenty going to Kenosha for shopping! This is a great site with great info (I find myself on it even when I should be doing other things! ) Anyways, I am two months into my supervised diet and the next two weeks will be going through most of my pre-op tests. Good luck with your journey and keep us posted! I am hoping to get VSG, but have a feeling that I will have to fight to get it. I hope I don't have to fight too hard! Take care!

You must be soooooo proud of yourself. Wow, what a transformation.
Congratulations.

I live in Pleasant Prairie, which is right by Kenosha.  I am hoping for surgery in
February or March also.  It feels like things don't happen quick enough.
It sounds like you are well on your way too.

No, my daughter's insurance is in Illinois, so she had to go to Illinois.  She is doing awesome and is looking even more beutiful everyday.  I'm looking to have a RNY, I had my psych appt today, that was interesting.  I am seeing the nutritionist and I see an exercise "guru" next week.  I'm not quite sure what her title is.  But I feel that I'm on the right road.  So how have you done, I see you are a year out from your surgery.
