    Hi Kellie,

    I just got my band last Friday from Dr. Ramos Kelly in Mexico. I was very happy with the treatment in Mexico. I am already back to work and still recovering but feeling good. I just got onto this site today and just love all the information and support. I am hoping to loose 75 pounds. Good luck with your band and it is really an easy procedure with minimal discomfort after. I am on only liquids right now for the first couple of weeks and have my first fill appt for Jan 6th. Any questions please ask.

    Good luck with your band.

    Hi Kellie,

    I'm waiting on my insurance approval and I am hoping to be banded in January too. We can be banding partners! I sure hope I get approved. The waiting is killing me.

    I know I found out I was approved on Nov. the 20th and I am having my surgery on Dec. 18th

    I have been waiting for approval since July but it was my fault because I wasn't finshed with my diet until Oct. but good luck keep in touch and let me know if you get approved Khristina:nervous
