I went for my 1st consultation today and it went well. Worse case scenario, I have 4 months. If my insurance accepts my previous weight loss attempts then it could be sooner.

They tried to "sway" me towards other WLS but I now know 100% I want the band. It may be extra work and more office visits but I still want the band.

This site has been amazing to me. She asked if I had any questions and I literally didn't have any.

I shared with her my source and it really felt good. I know about the pre op, post op, fills, protein shakes, 1/2 cup of food, pain and gas in my shoulder.

I learned it all here. Thank you all so much!

I spent 7mths here before surgery and felt the same way. Matter of fact, you get more info here than most meetings.

Where'd I learn about "bandster hell", here.

Gas pains, stomach noises, everything, here.

I just read about POOP! I love this place!!!

LMAO!! They don"t tell you about constipation and with some like me diarrhea (TMI).

I thank everyone here every chance I get and I now call them "My LB Family".
