Ms. Jen, Did you have Dr. de la Torre do your band. I am just starting to fill out paperwork, etc. Any hints, pitfalls, advice??? I am excited and scared at the same time. Did you use the Psy. through their office? Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can give.

I've been going to my Curves for over three years and love it. I have been to many different Curves locations and they vary a great deal. The one I go to has 12 machines and a stretching station. It is a very large club and many of the members have been there for years. I am not banded yet so I don't know how well it will work afterwards but for me at this point in my life it is a great workout. The weights are not fixed, they are hydralic so you are working at your own capacity, the harder you push the more resistence you get. I can see where it might be a problem for very tall women but I feel like it has kept me from weighing 400 pounds instead of 300. :clap2::clap2::clap2:

What do you mean by 360 degrees? Don't they all go around the top of the stomach. I'm confused?

:confused:I have done a lot of research for the best place to go in St. Louis only to find out that my insurance doesn't cover the program I chose, It's back to the drawing board. Anyone used the DePaul Weight Loss Institute with Dr. de la Torre? It's about 30 minutes from my work and 45 from home but I guess that won't be too bad. Any insight anyone can provide would be appreciated.:help:

Are you going through the Washington University Program? I am still researching it but it looks like the best on paper, and it is close to work, home etc. so not hard to go to support groups, appointments, etc. any suggestions, help, etc. would be appreciated.

Has anyone used this program. I am scheduled for their seminar on October 17 and wondering if anyone has experience with them?:help:

I'm new here too, I made an appointment for the required seminar yesterday. I guess we will go through the process and see where it goes.
