Connie, I am not yet banded either I have however had a consultation and at that appointment I spoke with the person that deals only with insurance. Maybe if you have a surgen that your thinking of going too you could call and talk to someone they may be able to tell you where to start. Good luck!

Great News I hope to hear soon!!! Good luck on your journey

I am scared also, I have failed so many times before I don't want to fail at this too!

Thanks everyone, I have told my close friends and some family, I am happy to have this tool to help me get to a healthy weight! I don't think I need to share with people that it wont really effect!

How does everyone deal with family and friends? Did you tell everyone or wait till they notice your losing then tell?

I agree once we get a date the time will probably fly by....at least I hope so!

Hello everyone. I am so happy to have found this site! I have read such great info. I am 34 married for 13yrs and we have 2 children. I started putting weight on about 10 yrs ago, we had to go thru a lot of fertility treatments before I was able to get pregnant and that's what got the pounds started!! Currently I am 260# BMI is 44.9, this is the highest my weight has ever been. I went on 5/16 for my first consultation with Dr Curry in Cincinnati, everything went really well....and now the weighting begins!!

I too am just getting started, I had my consultation 5/16. At my appointment I met with everyone involved in the process so the apt was about 3 hrs but I'd rather have one long visit then 6 short ones! I have been looking for a time line also but after reading tons of different post it seems like no two people are the same!

That's great!!! Congrats!

Congratulates! Every step closer, no matter how big or small is so exciting!!! Very happy for you
