I had my first appointment with my surgeon yesterday. I am getting banded at Magee Women's Hospital by Dr. Hamad. I am down about 8 lbs since I started this process. I am three months in. I am nervous. Got lots of testing to do--a sleep study, EKG, Upper GI, blood work, etc. But excited. I am ready for the change....I have been working on my diet and exervcise. I am hoping that the insurance approves this. But so far, so good. Any advice/stories/support would be greatly appreciated!!
