One of the lady on there suggest this site hope it will help as well . Glad to get to be part of this site

Hi Tina, I too am new to the sight, I have learned so much! We must be in the same area, Dr Curry has an office in Columbus also and that is who is going to do my band. I hope to hear from insurance by this time next week!!

Welcome to the site. I have enjoyed it. It seems to come in cycles as to a few days of great and positive posts followed by a few days of negative posts. I was on it for 2 months before my surgery and read alot of great things and read about people having great success losing weight fast and having no complications. Then the week before my proceedure every post was about band slips and major complications. It freaked me out.

There are some great and suppportive people on the site as well as some that arent so much. I hope you enjoy the group.

I'm from zanesville but I had mine done in Columbus at Osu bariatrics I wish you luck for your approval !
