Just a little introduction...

Hi there! I am getting banded next Saturday. I am very excited and nervous. I know what to expect, but don't know what to expect--if that makes sense. I know everyone is different, on their journey, so I am just nervous in general.

I live in Raleigh NC and have a supportive husband & 2 wonderful kids.

Anyway, I look forward to being on the boards with everyone.

Thanks!

I wish I was as far along as you. Im attending my seminar August 4th then they will schedule appointment with the doctor. From there several hurdles to go through think pulmonary and cardiology, nutristion and physic evaluation, then the process will start. Can you tell me how long all that takes? Look forward to hearing about your p rocedure and look forward to getting to know you.

I have been getting the work up for the past two months. I should mention that I had to have my gallbladder taken out at the end of June, which put a hitch in my cardiology visit and getting clearance. Overall it took me two months because of working around my job and working in the whole gallbladder issue.
