I go to my doctor May 1, 2006 for my consultation. I am excited and scared all at the same time...I cant wait until i start losing. My doctor is Thomas Lavin...I live in NO Louisiana...I will be cash pay cause Aetna sucks. I just wanted to say hello to everyone and i cant wait til i am banded...hope i have a good experience. I have read many many post on here some are wonderful some are scary. I have mixed emotions about everything. Well i cant wait to join all you banders.

Good luck....I wish you the best. Make a list of questions to ask at the consult. I asked several myself and I'm still adding questions today to a new list. This is a great place for support. Welcome!!
