Yes I used Dr. Collier was banded on April 10, 08 what about you?

Hi stef123633 yes I was banded by Dr. C in April. I love it, I have had 2 fills but she told me it will probably take another fill before I get some real restriction, because I have lost some fat around my stomach. how are you doing?

Well I have my second fill Friday morning at journey lite maybe I will see you there.

Hi Mandi Jo, One more week are you getting excited? You will have to keep us informed how you are doing. The support from people who really understand what you are going through is a great tool. Good Luck.

Hey Sarah how are you feeling?

Good Luck tomorrow on your band day! Wish you a speedy recovery.

Just wanted to say hello.

Thanks for the sweet comments, but yes I did need it. I am so glad I did. Seems like such a common problem amongst women trying to keep it off. I never knew there was a whole world of bandsters out there. lol nice to meet so many people who can relate.

Hi Dananah,

I did not have a problem getting approved for the surgery, but I was a cash patient. I also had a BMI of 35. Insurance claims usually have to have atleast 2 morbid obese symptoms like sleep apnea, high blood pressure, etc.... most require 6 months documented dr. assisted weight loss a dietian a pychatrist elvaluation and most only let you try twice for insurance if you get denied both times you can't try again. Good Luck and I will answer any questions you may have.
