The beginning of my journey...

Actually this isn't really the beginning. Just the first time that I have written about it. This was suggested by my surgeon as there are not any support groups in the area of Illinois in which I live. I am 34 years old and I am anxiously awaiting lap band surgery. My paperwork should be sent to insurance next week. I am excited and scared at the same time! I have my last "physician supervised diet" appointment on Tuesday. My surgeons office said that as soon as I get my notes to his office they will submit. I wonder how long all of that will take. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield. I guess I am getting impatient. Anyway, I am sorry I am rambling. I guess that I am so new to this. I haven't ever shared in this way.
