HI there. I'm a newbie. I submitted my paperwork to the insurance a couple weeks ago and just waiting for approval. I'm in Mesa AZ and will be going to Dr. Terry Simpson for my band. :biggrin1:

I'm currently doing SB and I can't wait to get the band to help me lose my weight. I'm looking forward to doing all those fun things I used to do...skiing, scuba, hiking, archery tournaments, etc.

Well, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.

:welcome: :welcome: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcome2: :welcome2:

Hi fellow Arizona bandster!! Welcome to LBT!!!

Congratulations on getting Dr. Simpson, I hear he is a wonderful surgeon!!

Thanks Coyotegirl! Yes, he seems to have a large fan base! I'm really happy about his support after the surgery! Looks like you have had GREAT success with the band!! I remember seeing your post from the other day - when you posted the pic of you on the scale and your piggies were showing! Very nice!!

Welcome Kathleen. I too am waiting for approval. However, I am now on my first appeal and waiting for the decision to be reversed. Hopefully, I will know soon.

You couldn't have come to a better place. LBT has been the best thing for me. I have learned so much here. The support from all of the wonderful people on LBT has been unbelievable. You will learn a great deal.

Welcome aboard.

Emily

Thanks Emily!

I agree about this site! I have learned so much that I feel when my time comes to get banded I'll be ahead of the game mentally!

Take care.

Kathleen
