Any hospital RN's out there who have been banded?
well im no RN but CNA and med/ surg in the hospital i was off 2 weeks and no lifting over 10 pounds for 4 weeks and i did great . however you are a RN and dont require heavy lifting as a CNA but listen to your body i was up walking good in 2weeks just take a note from the doctor as a back up not to lift over 10 pounds for 4 weeks that way u can return just with limits. hope that helps a little

Does everyone have to wait 6 months
YES , go ahead and start go through your insurance company and find out all the requirements , then pick your gastric surgeon find out all her/his requirements 6months will fly by before you know it. and dont miss any appointments.

How did you determine what weight you wanted to eventually be?
i asked my self the same thing and i asked my doctor for a personal opp' she said she feels 190 would be great she just wants me under 200 since my blood pressure became life threating after 220 i thought about it over and over and i came to this i will keep loosing til i feel very comfortable and happy if its 200 or under im the one got to live with me and as long as im happy with my self..hey what else is there to say
