  1. Hey everyone. I was banded Wednesday and I am on the road to recovery....woo hoo. I stayed overnight in the hospital and came home late Thursday night. My first night home was rough but I started feeling better yesterday afternoon. I am having trouble getting all the liquids i'm suppose to have in a days time, especially the protein drinks, they make me nauseated. Well talk to you all soon. Keep up the good work everyone.

    I had my first consultation with the surgeon Jan. 14. Went for all my testing(dietician, physch consult, ekg, stress test, chest x-ray) on Feb. 9th. Paperwork submitted to ins. on Feb. 19th. Approved March 24th.

  17. I'm from Missouri, about 65 miles south of St. Louis. I completed all my testing Feb. 9. All the insurance needs now is medical clearance from my primary doc which I go to him on Thursday. So that being said hopefully within the next month I will have my surgery.
