Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself.

I just was approved by insurance this week (yay!) and meet with the surgeon on April 27th. I'm hoping to schedule my surgery for end of May/early June.

I'm 28, live in NYC and looking to lose approx 100lbs. I'm really excited about this process--and while nervous, now that I've made the decision just can't wait to start this journey!

I'd love to hear from others who have success stories to share, were recently banded, as well as those who are looking to have surgery in the same time frame as me, so we can hopefully go through it together.

Thanks!

That's so great, Melinda. Hopefully you get the surgery date you want. I just scheduled mine this week for May 27th and I can't wait! Keep us posted once you get your date set.

Hi Lee,

Just stopping by to say hi. I also live in NYC and my surgery is on May 4th. i'm trying to lose about 1,000 pounds...at least that's what it feels like i have to lose. I'd be happy with 100, but over the moon if i could lose 150-200. I have lots of pounds to spare and I'd willingly give them to anyone who wants them

How exciting for you! I am going to my psych evaluation on 5/3/11 and am waiting on further insurance approval......seems to take a really long time. I am hopeful for early June. It is an exciting journey!

I just had my surgery on April 20th, I am doing great. I have lost 7 lbs so far since surgery. I am 53 and have had 2 strokes, so if I can do it, so can you. I have been on liquids since the 19th of April, and now I am at the point where food does not interest me at all. That is since the surgery. At first, I would have cravings, but they go away after about a week or so. Good luck to all of you!!!

Good luck. I will be getting mine on May 9th. Excited and nervous as well.

Congrats on your surgery and 7lb loss so far. Was wondering about your ability to exercise since youv'e had two strokes?? Have you created alternate forms of exercise? I am not banded yet- will attend my seminar tonight. Am excited to start the process and get on to a new healthier life. Good luck to you.
