Hi everyone. My name is Nicole, Im 35 yrs old, married with 2yr old son. Scheduled to get banded in August , 2010. I have viewed the site during my research stage but now am ready to join in, meet new friends and get the support and information I need to make it through! I am selfpay for this surgery, unfortunatley my husbands United Healthcare plan does not cover the surgery, but we sure did try. Wish I was covered but gotta do what I gotta do! My surgeon Is Dr. Small based from the Weight Loss Clinic in MD.
