Hello All,

Well I am in my 4 month of getting the band. I am from Minnesota. My Doctor is Dr Lee about 25 miles from my home town. If all goes well, I will be able to have my surgery towards the end of April. Last week I had my pysch evalutation. Won't get my results back for a few weeks. I have written my letter to the insurance company and have to wait for eval to see if I qualify and if they will cover it.

I did some reading on here and boy I have alot of the same feelings others do. I know I need to lose weight, but I am terrified that I will fail again. I am getting better at my portion control and have been exercising.

My family isn't very supportive of me in my new adventure. I come from a family of over weight people. It will be good to have some support. I do have a couple of friends that have had it done and are very successful. I will keep checking back for info and support. Thanks for listening

Michelle

Well welcome to this site!! There is a ton of support here! Sorry about your family not supporting you...maybe when they see all the weight falling off of you they will change their minds!! Always remember there are not any dumb questions here as well as always remember to follow your doctors directives! You will see really quickly here that every doctor does things a little bit differently but all with good intentions! Take care and I wish you the very best on your journey!
