Hi my name is Jessica I am 26 years old. I am married with two daughters a 8 yr old and an 8 month old. I am so excited about the.possibility of this surgery. I want to be healthy again is my main reason for wanting this. I am a type2 diabetic been diagnosed for 3 years now. I also have fatty Liver which is.due to my extra weight. I am 5'6 I have been overweight since I was 17. My weight fluctuates between 180 and 200lbs. Can't get below 180 no matter how hard I try. I would love to look better buy feeling better is my main goal. Wish me luck! Good luck to all of you as well!!

Hi jessica i have the same stuff u have too im almost done with my drs visit then I'll be band the end of october or the beginning of november how ever long my insurance takes

Ive kind of had a little emotional set back My Mother and my aunt are both having a hissy fit about me having this surgery. My husband however is supportive.

Does your mother & Aunt have diabetes??

My mom is the same way but i told her i didnt care want she say its my, life

Hi Jessica! I'm scheduled to be banded on 9/17!! My mom is so supportive and I am very thankful for that. Maybe ask your family to go to a seminar with you - for their benefit and to calm their fears, have their questions answered by the professionals. I know it helped with my boyfriend - now he is in the process! Good luck to you!
