Hello. I am new to the site. I started my WLS journery in 2010 but surgery got delayed by other procedures that needed to be taken care of first. I was originally set for RNY but have been reading more about banding and really liking what I am seeing.
My doctor will be Dr Douglas Olsen and currently my status is under review since I was approved in 2010 and trying to have the approval extended or renewed or whatever they have to do.
