  24. I am using the same! My insurance is making me do the 6 month wait so I have one more weigh in and then I get my surgery... A friend of mine had him do her lap band and she is doing great! She had surgery almost a year ago and has lost almost 80lbs already... She gave me high recommendations so here I am waiting my turn and can't wait...
  25. I went to my first consultation in january and am having to do the 6 month wait. But now im almost there! Time goes by faster than you think I felt the same in January and still feel antsy and can't wait (im pretty sure I look at the success stories on here almost everyday). I should get my surgery in july and would love to lose to my ultimate goal of 130lbs but we shall see.
