Amy C

I'm 31 and live in the St Louis MO area. I don't have any children but hope that this journey will help me in that area too.

I'm also looking at the beginning of January. I don't have an exact date yet but doctor say as soon as they get the ok from insurance-any day now-we can book it.

Welcome! I am newer to the site also and have found everyone very kind, helpful, and always there for each other on our down days. I have recently finished my 3 months guided diet and things have been submitted to the insurance now just waiting for the big answer. ..good luck to you and never hesitate to reach out to us!

Welcome, I too am 31 with a bmi of 37....ok to be exact mine is 37.8...and am waiting for approval from my insurance company. Good luck to you, we are all here for each other so anytime you have questions or just wanna chat we are here!! Keep us posted!!!

You look great!! I like your hair too!! :-)

I'm right there with both of you ladies, I go for my final visit this Thurs the 7th then everything gets submitted to the insurance....then its the waiting game. I pray they don't take long for an approval cause I will go crazy waiting! Good luck to each of you and hope to hear how each turns out!

Hazel, thank you for this post. I am not banded as of yet..hopefully next month...but I will keep this as a reminder! Very well said!!!! Thank you

Welcome Kelly!! Good luck to you and your new life coming!!! I hope to be banded in December and also have my dream baby in a few years ♡♥♡ I look forward to following your journey!!

Congrats to all for wanting to get healthy...I'm still kinda a newbie, my insurance requires 3 months and next week is my 2nd meeting with my primary doctor and the dietician. I'm so excitied to get to the end of the 3 months so I can find out if I'm approved. I would love to have this done in December so I can start the new year out right! Good luck to all!!!!

YAY!!! Congrats, I can't wait till the day I feel the same, I know it will come. Rock it girl!!!

Hello! I've been following the website for a little while, but think its time to get out there now. My name is Amy and I have always struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I've decided to take my life back into my own hands so I can start doing the activities I like. I am 31, married to a very supportive man that loves me no matter what! I have already found so much information and hope to make many friends here!!

My sleep study is tomorrow night...ready to get this over with so maybe I can get a good nights sleep. Sweet dreams!
