I was supposed 2b banded in 8/05. I chicken'd out for various reasons, but I am back and committed. I have made some changes in my life....quit me job as a Customer Service Rep. for a mfg. co. and I am now pursuing my dream of being an professional make-up artist and Esthetician. I am in school full time W-Sat. and I LOVE IT... I graduate July 12th my b-day!!!! It is the best decision I have ever made (besides the band of course). I have found a new surgeon, Dr. Shayani (Loyola) My first appt is May 16th at 8am. I am so excited. My insurance has changed too, I now have a medical card because I am a full time student, so I hope they will approve it. The women on the phone said it should not be a problem.

thanks for reading....
