I would love to do this. My surgery is the 27th of October so this will get me moving in the right direction.

I was teaching preschool before I started this job. I was up and down and out to the playground and moving more. This new job has definatly contributed. Its hard to sit all day and not munch! Although with the preschool there were a lot of preschool snacks around

I just joined as well. I just got my date, Oct 27th. Welcome and good luck!

Our surgery dates are really close. I am scheduled on the 27th. Good luck!

I was just wondering about everyone's lives. Are you married, single, do you have kids? What do you do for work? What do you do for fun? I have been married for 3 years and I have a 14 month old. I'm a receptionist at a mental health center. I love to read and as a family we try to go to a lot of different parks to walk and play. I also really like to cook so finding things that will work with the band should be a fun challange.

Dr Hoehn He has done several of my coworkers as well.

I am from Kansas City as well. I am having mine done at KC Bariatric. It's good to know there is someone else in the area. I went and bought the bariatric fusion shakes from the surgeon's office today so that I can start trying them at breakfast each morning.

My date is October 27th. It seems so far but I know it will be here soon. I'll get to hear all of your experiences first. I have stopped all caffiene and soda as of today. (I'm sure I will be busting out the tylenol soon) Good luck to everyone!

I have blue cross blue shield of kansas city. They only ask for previous attempts at losing weight but for some reason they wanted more proof of mine. I sent in my weight watchers books and that did the trick. I hope yours gets approved as well. Good luck!

Hi! My name is Jenn. I've been lurking for a little while. I just got my surgery date today which was a total surprise because my insurance company originally said I would have to do a six month diet but then changed their minds. So I will get banded on Oct 27th. I have to do a two week liquid diet which I am not looking forward to but I'm wrapping my mind around it. I'm just so ready to get started. The first time I heard obese from a doctor I was 10. I hope to get lots of good tips and buddies from here.
