Hello this is my first official post on lab band talk... i will be getting banded Aug 26 by Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Tijuana Mexico and am getting nervous... I have been doing a lot of reading and research and feel this is the way to go for me. I am 35 270lbs and have a BMI of 51... my insurance will not cover lap band and they want me to pay thousands of dollars for a medically supervised diet i cant afford that and dont have the will power to do it i tried it for 2 weeks and ended up cheating and wasting $300... so is anyone else getting banded come Aug?? i would luv to talk and share support :thumbup:

talk to ya's soon ZEN
