My consultation was 01/25/11. I am so ready to do this but i feel like the system is set up for ppl who are not quite sure. Unfortunately i waited till I was 100% positive before scheduling an appointment. now everything feels like its dragging. Now I have to get an Endoscopy, Psych Eval, Nutritionist, and letter of recommendation. feeling like Im back to square one. I think I gave myself the false hope that when I made my decision it would be one two three and i would be feeling great by summer...............could be wrong-er! btw how do i get one of those weight loss trackers?

wow its crazy looking back at this post....well guys I never got banded instead I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on nov 6th 2011!!!!! . (high risk pregnancy due to obesity "looks great on paper") One year later from original post and im back on track getting my appointments done hope to be banded by august.....you guys ended up passing me by far!

yaaaaayyyy finally someone at the same point as me! . ...i went to my consultation 02/21/2012...my insurance also wants 6months but i got a letter from my pediatrician saying that he tried nutritional counseling with me since the age of 8, and just got a letter from the GYN who delivered my baby. he wrote that my pregnancy was considered high risk due to obesity and that he provided nutritional counseling for the 9months......I'm hoping they will wave the 6months diet

thats what im scheduling now.....it is required for me too. Psych eval, Nutritionist, Dr recommendation, and Labs......uuuggghhh

I HaVe A TiCkEr!!!!!!!!!!!!.....thanks.....why am I so happy...lmao

thanks guys... this site is really what i needed. to feel sane!......i made my appointments. does the endoscopy hurt?
