Hello. I've been researching wls for about 5 yrs. This year I have insurance to pay for it. I wanted the vsg but was denied 3 times by insurance. I was approved for bypass in 1 day and after considering it for a long time I switched to the band. I've done all my pre-op testing had my nutrition class last night and am less than 2 weeks away.

Just looking for support and friends to chat with. I've been on obesityhelp for 5 years but they don't have a mobile site or an app. So its hard to use from my phone. This mobile site seems nice so far

Hey guys, I'm scheduled for the 11th, so I'm right there with you! Jack, I think you did the right thing going with the band over the bipass! Lets keep in touch!
