  1. Congrats! What's ABC? I'm new haven't been banded yet.
  2. Jo Ann, I really don't know why I bolt at the last minute. I guess I'm scared to a certain degree that it won't help and then I've wasted all this money. My insurance won't pay. Then again maybe I feel like I'm looking for an easy way out of being fat--that's not a maybe really-- I do want an easy way out. And I guess that's part of the problem, I thought it was going to make it easier. Were you asked to go on a diet before your surgery? I keep seeing this in things I read on the web site. I never was asked to diet. Is there someone you talk to, that helps you as you go through this? Or is it just written instructions and you check in once every so many weeks? So glad you wrote back to me. Thanks
  3. Jo Ann, I'm supposed to be banded by Dr Spivak. Ashamed to say I have cancelled 3X. Is it really working for people? I read so many negative messages, it sounds as hard as really dieting. Does it make dieting easier or not???
