Hi Shannon,

I like the fleur de lis.

Have you been banded yet?

Congratulations on your approval!!!!!

Hi

Have you been banded yet? I was banded late January. I'm down 57 pounds. Talk about best decisions, this was definitely one for me.

Hi

I too will tell you that getting banded was the best thing I've ever done for me....ever. Don't doubt your decision, it'll be well worth it. You'll see.

Hi,

Your success if inspiring. Gonna come back ever so often and read your story. It'll keep me headed in the right direction.

Hi,

I see you mentioned being in Gulfport. I'm in New Orleans. I was banded on 1/26/09. So far so good. How are you doing

Hi

I saw a post somewhere in the Doctors/Hospitals forums indicating that you were considering SCLA @ West Jefferson. Did you use that facility? I was banded there by Dr Treen in January '09. It was a flawless process and I find the support system there to be super.

I'm sure you're banded by now and

I hope you're doing well.

Have a great weekend. It's finally dry!

Hi Lady West,

Have you been banded yet? If so, how's it going?

I was banded in New Orleans on 1/26/09. I'm doing good so far. By far one of the best decisions of my life.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Punkin....

I was banded on 1/26/09 in New Orleans. It's been good thus far. I'm learning as I go....

Have a great weekend!

Hi

Congrats on your surgery and success to date!

Hello,

Congrats on your success to date!

Hi Yetramc,

Good luck on getting your approval soon. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Anthem and once I met the requirements: psych eval, dietician consult, letter of surgery clearance from my doc and 3 yrs. of weight verification, I was approved within a week or so of the doctors office submitting my application. When I saw that letter in the mail I screamed. Talk about make my day!

Take care.

Hey Ms Carly,

Wishing you the best of luck and relief in the near future.

Hi,

Congrats on your decision to get banded. I was banded in January and for sure it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Hopefully your pain doesn't last long. Within 2 days after being home I no longer needed pain meds. Just be sure to take it easy and don't overdo it.

Best of luck to you.

Hi vikki...

We had the same thoughts. I turn 50 this year and said "Hell No", I will not see another birthday at this size. It's time for me to do something for me.

Take care.

Hi,

I was also banded on January 26. How's it going so far for you. I live in New Orleans.

I'm so happy for you! You're doing an excellent job!
