You must be so proud of yourself! I hope and pray I am as successful as you are! AWESOME! pLEASE LET ME KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT THE PROCESS FOR YOU. Question about your tummy tuck and lipo....was it expensive? Did insurance cover any of it?:ohmy:

Thanks so much for the encouragement...I have heard the surgeon at an informational meeting, but have not met him one on one yet. I will start meeting with the therapist this week and will start in a support group next week. I will also meet with a nutritionist also at some point. I also have 115 lbs to lose and will probably have to lose 10% of my starting weight before surgery. I have to travel about an hour to get to the appointments, that is the only real hardship right now. TTYS :purplebananna:

Hi Everyone - I'm from Kittery Maine. I am just getting started in the process to get approved. I'm told that if all goes according to plan I should have my banding before the end of the year. For the first time in a long time I feel excitement about the future! I will have my procedure at Maine Medical Center in Portland Maine. I have met the Surgeon at an informational meeting and will start attending a support group soon. :thumbup:

Hi, I'm Laurie and I am in the process waiting to get approved for surgery. I'm told that I should be able to have it before the end of the year. waiting is hard. Congrats to you. you're on your way now. Best wishes.
