Hi there!! I actually work for the government, so I'm not sure what insurances you have available. I currently have Pacificare (HMO) and Sharp hospital - a great combination for this! My PCP is Gerald Paul in Pt. Loma. He used to work bariatrics and has had family members do the surgery, so he's definately pro-wls. Let me know if you have any other questions or if I can help in any way! Good luck with everything!!

Hi NikkiJoT! I was reading some posts from you in a "Starting the 6 month Journey" forum and was wondering- what insurance do you have? I am in San Diego as well and my open enrollment for insurance is coming up and I am wondering if you can give me any suggestions for insurance company and type (HMO, PPO etc) and who your PCP is/was... I have decided I am going to start the journey toward Lap Band and want to make sure I have the most affective start possible. Any info would be great!! =)

Same here!! Great to meet you and your hubby and chat a bit!! I hope you like the protein powder, too!! Let me know if you do cuz i got a whole lot!! :-)

Hey! Great to meet you in person tonight!

aww...my very own ooo-rah! Thanks!!

Thanks....I plan to give Karen a call this week regardless - I just want to make sure I'm on the right track! Thanks again for the words of encouragement!!

I still think you need to give it time, but talking to Karen wouldn't hurt either. I hope you get out of this rut soon! I know you'll do great!!

Yes, I just saw your post and responded! I might be doing good on protein, but not sure about the rest!! I'm sure I'm not supposed to be eating the meats, but really, i just wanted a variety and just have an ounce at most I would say....so far so good, though, so who knows!! Anything is helpful at this point!! Thanks for taking the time to respond!!

Nikki, I replied to your "what i ate" post. I don't know if it'll be helpful. Your protein intake is fabulous by the way!
