Well, I have jumped opver the cliff. I called and made my first appointment for august 7tth. I am getting banded at the NWWLS in Everett WA. I am cash pay. This is great! and I am really nervous :nervous . Hoping to get banded in August so my brother can give me a ride there and back. he is a teacher and it will be a bit harder after school starts to get his help. OH boy Oh boy Oh boy! Bye Bye Diabetes! I am a little in shock that I made the call. WoHooooooo The more I research this procedure the more I am looking forward to this. Ok enough wahoooing for now See Ya!!!:biggrin1:

Congrats! See you on the losing side soon

slip on shoes a pillow for in the car between you and the seat belt and loose fitting clothes ( I wore an overdress) the first few days is sore to get on the pot using those tummy muscles

Welcome to LBT!

Congratulations!! The band is a wonderful tool and I wish you all the best.

I was just banded on Tuesday, and although extremely sore it is tolerable, and I would do it over in a heartbeat. I'm not the least bit hungry and looking forward to this journey. Best of luck to you.

God Bless

Thanks for the tips everyone, Nana~, I would look pretty scary in any kind of dress!!!!

I'm getting banded at NWWLS August 31, Dr. Montgomery. The whole staff there is great!

Since you are cash pay, you won't have the time delay of waiting for insurance to approve you, that will help with the time. I'm only waiting that long because of work schedules.
