I always thought something was wrong with me...I'm usually always hot. I am really looking forward to getting banded, losing weight, and not SWEATING for no good reason!

Hello. Right now I am waiting for the BIDMC nurse to call me back. I know that they got my application....How long does this process take? Thanks, Marjorie

Hi, PBing is "productive burping"....I have no clue as to what sliming is and I'm not sure I want to know???!!! :omg: Margie

Chrispy, Thanks for the advice. I do plan on taking two weeks off after the surgery. I"m not sure which dietician I met with, she had shoulder length brown/black hair and was very nice. I'm looking forward to talking to the nurse and meeting with the doctor. Margie

Hello, I am new to this forum. I stumbled upon it accidentally doing research for lap-band surgery. I have been to the BIDMC once and met with a nutritionist. I forwarded in my application. I'm waiting for the nurse to call me to see if I qualify. I think I will. My BMI is 40.3 and I have already checked with my insurance company. They will cover the surgery (I meet all of their criteria too). I am originally from MA but live in southern NH (can't afford MA!) I work in MA. I am excited about this journey. I am 5'10" and I weigh 282 pounds. My goal is to get under 200. Unfortunately, I am doing a lot of travelling for work until 8/1. Ideally I'd like to have the surgery in October. I have learned a lot from reading this post, especially what a PB was :biggrin1:. I hope to learn more. Thanks! Marjorie
