Hey there!

I'm new to the boards but have been reading for a couple months now. I want to thank you all for providing such great, truthful information, but most importantly, you're inspiration!

A little about myself: I'm 25 living in the north Dallas area. I went to a seminar back in March, did my homework and submitted all the insurance paperwork and waited. Then found out my husbands employer did not opt to have weight loss surgery as something they wanted to cover, I was totally bummed of course. I had just finished grad school and had only been working a couple of months (meaning I was dirt broke). Well a couple of months later, I saved up half the cost and was approved for the rest through care credit. Now, I'm ready to begin this new life! I have my first apt this friday and I'm super excited.

If all goes well, I plan on getting banded early December (fingers crossed) I wish I could get it done sooner but already have so many plans for the upcoming months like a vacation and husband is having a minor surgery.

Cant wait to get to know all of you!

Welcome and congrats on deciding to get banded! December will come quickly.

Congrats on your decision to get the band! :blushing: Trust me, it will be one of the best decisions you will ever make. I absolutely LOVE mine.

This place is great for talking with everyone about it, too. Plus, you can learn a lot about band living and it's good to meet others who are going through the same thing.

Let me know if you ever have any questions.

Congrats on your decision and your commitment to saving the money! I'm sure that will be the hardest part of your journey. :]
