banded 6/05. lost 30 pounds from pre-op till now. i had a major $$$ surgery for 30 pounds? i have given up. i gave up a long time ago. doctors office is overbooked and understaffed, gave up on them. i can and do eat the same amount as I always did, so am i suppose to be full with this cuz i sure have never felt it. wish i would have had the bypass instead, so tired of being fat but i'm beginning to believe i was truely meant to be this way if having major surgery doesn't even help me! started smoking again too. i'm gonna start the diet pills again too, at least they gave me a little energy, guess i'll give weight watchers a try again too, heck, i might as well kick myself while i'm down haha! i feel no different than before surgery and yes i am filled. so does this just not work on some people???? of course i would be the one!

I've been approved! I have a surgery date of June 22nd! I really wasn't expecting to be approved until the end of the year so, YEAH FOR ME! Guess I'd better get protein shopping! I'm in New Castle County, Dr. Peters will be doing my surgery at St. Francis. Any tips anyone would like to share would be appreciated!

Hi, I'm Angela from Delaware. I'm 37 and bigger than I've been in my entire life. I'm tired of being miserable and ready to do something about it. I've completed all of my appointments and am awaiting a response from the insurance company, Empire BCBS (out of NY). I started this process way back in December but had a surgical setback :faint: and now I feel like MY day will never come. I'm lucky enough to have a great friend to go on this ride with me, luv ya kim!, I've been going through it alone for so long. I believe I've hit a new plateua in my life, I've been seeing everything in new perspectives. Weird. I look forward to meeting all of you!!!
