  1. Way to go Mamota! Good Luck! I'm in the early steps, consultation scheduled for tomorrow. The more I read about others and their experiences, the less anxious I feel. The sooner I'd wish to be scheduled for the LB. Was the process long for you? I mean your scheduled 6/21 but how long before that did you have to wait?
  2. So Jodi, it took you most of the school year to get this far? So, I'm like thinking I go in for the consultation Wed. and then we schedule for LB for the following week....I guess I'm wrong, huh? Does most of it have to do with the insurance process....
  3. I live in the KC area too and was recommended to the Weight Loss Surgical center in Shawnee Mission....I need to ask questions and be certain that this is the right place for me. Does anyone have any feedback on this place?
  4. I am so amazed at how quickly you all have been able to lose in such a short amount of time....That is was really motivates me more! Now I can't wait to get started. I'm meeting with the doctors this Wed. and we'll take it from there. I work for the school district as an ESL teacher's assistant, so I have the summer off, I'd like to get in there and get this done so I can be ready by the time school begins! It's great so far to know that support is out there. And hearing your testimony(s) is comforting.
  5. Hi all...I don't know where to begin...I am really anxious & excited all at once at the thought of getting this lap band done! I just turned 40 and am at might highest weight ever!! I'm 5'7" & weigh 277 ! I have 3 incredible kids 12, 10, & 3! Also, a very supportive husband! Weight happens, I can remember when I was thinner...and that was a long time ago..... way back then.....Now they are all full of energy, energy I once had! I miss out on alot of stuff cause i feel exhausted all the time. I am ready to try this to succeed! I need to become a much healthier, happier, better person again!
