Are you still meeting in Wegman's?

I work in Brooklyn and would love to connect with someone from the area.

I am pre-banded and also freaking out. Seems like pre-banded are either freaking out or can not wait. Newly banded all exited how many lbs they lost last week and how many times they had to throw up... Then we have the old timers - who are either not posting, or removed the band, or had complications... I don't see even ONE old timer here who is 100% happy... is it because they are too busy living their happy thin lives and not posting?

The best answer I got from banded people - LB helps to eat less, more accurately you will eat less to avoid pain of overeating - feels like heart attach, or expending sponge in your chest. Hope to have my surgery in a few months... keeping my fingers crossed but mouth are still open :-)

Hi fellows Empire Bc Bs Banders :-) Were you required for six month of diet tracking? I called my insurance, they mentioned nothing, I read through all 25 pages of medical mambo jumbo - NADA. I called againe and ask - they said it is up to my surgeon. PLEASE let me know if those of you who have Empire BcBs and were required by insurance to go through medicaly supervised six month diet program. Thx
