Thanks for your responses! It's good to know there are other people out there in my area. JDA--Good luck with your results! I'm glad to hear your good review. Forrest--I haven't had my procedure yet--I'm working on completing all of the appointments that go beforehand. Also, there are tons of support group meetings--you should give them a call for the schedule. Thanks again, guys!

Hello All, This Maine group looks pretty dead, but I thought I'd see if anyone has any thoughts on the staff and doctors of the Bariatric Center of MaineGeneral in Augusta. I'd love to hear them! Thanks!

Hi Everyone! I'm so glad I stumbled upon this site! I'm also going through the seemingly endless process of scheduling necessary appointments and getting my insurance ducks in a row. I feel like now that I've made the decision to get the band I just want it to happen now! But I'm guessing this test of patience will come in handy 10 days into a 2 week liquid diet, so there's a silver lining. The one thing I'm currently a little freaked out by is the psychological test. I've never been to a shrink and I'm afraid that I'll say something that will make the doctor think this band is not a good idea. Any suggestions from the veterans? Thanks! Emily.
