Waiting for insurance approval for the band, in the meantime anyone wants to share how to prepare before the surgery? I'm new here and would welcome help and support, since im keeping this procure from most friends and family.

Welcome, I am in the same stage as you so I understand!! You will find a wealth of good information on this forum and I also highly reccomend you order Jean McMillan's book "Bandwagon"...I wish I had bought it sooner when I was dragging through my six-month mandatory weigh-ins!!

Good Luck, you came to the right place!

Thanks for the heads up on the book, I'm having a hard time trying to find it online. Are you waiting to get banded?

Welcome, I am new as well. I have attended my first seminar a few weeks ago.

I will meet with the dietician and financial / patient advocate on 10/15/12.

I would love to follow your progress and hopefully we can help each other.

Hello I'm new here. I went to my first seminar last week 10-3-12. Friday 10-5-12 got my INS verification. Today Monday 10-8-12 waiting on dietitian to call. I need to have weight monitor for 1 month. Friday 10-26-12 going to start my testing. Sleep pattern and stomach ultra sound. Oy! Feel like it's going to fast. Feeling nervous :/
