That's good. I've heard many say they are tired for a couple weeks or so. I m excited and can't wait for my procedure. I need to make myself stop reading the negativity on other sites about the band. It's scary. But I can say I've meet many that has had success than failure.

When do you get your band

I am going when school is out. I am am teacher so im getting in done around June 10th so I can have the whole summer to rest and get my self situated. Only thing I have left to do is my EDG and thats it. I talk to my advocate today and she said my insurance usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for approval.

It really is a huge blessing. Many success stories. I am going to have to stop reading the negitivity. I was talking to my advocate and she was not putting anyone down but she said do what the doctor tell you to do and follow your diet you will do fine. She has been banded for about 8 years and still looks good. Are you in Houston as well?

Yes I'm in Houston well about 20min from Houston in Baytown.
