Hi, Curently going through the 6 month insurance hoop. Dr. Marley in Windber Pa. will be doing by band. So...any advise etc would be apreciated!

Dear Moonrider, The CNA's have a very difficult job, I respect them for all they do, often with little respect, and certainly not enough monetary compensation. I wish you success and may be worth remembering...don't do anything about excessive weight, and it is most certainly a premature death due to all the complications that will eventually "get ya".

I also just happen to be a Nurse. Began as an ICU Nurse, and for the last 21 years work Long Term Care. Currently ADON at a great facility. I should be banded by April 08, and am very excited at the possibility of increased energy, and perhaps enjoy for once Clothes shopping!!!

thank you so much for the words of encouragement!! I too am a Nurse and know all the wrong things that I have done to contribute to my failures with weight loss!!! I am truly hoping that this journey will be a life changing event for me. Thanks again!

thanks for the reply :bubbly butt" (smile) You wouldn't happenen to be a Nurse now would ya>

Hi everyone! I am on my way to having the lap band (had 3 of the 6 required dr. visits).. I am excited about this venture, although wonder if this means never a cold glass of beer? Or a glass of wine?
