I am new here and am in the process of the band. my Dr. is Pennings in Post Fall, Idaho. I am a self pay. I am 54 and have dealt with obesity since my 20's. I have treid just about everything else, including phen-fen. Anyway, just wanted to say hi. It is nice to be able to see how others are doing on their journey.

Hi Jean, I was banded on June 6th of this year. So far I am down 34 lbs. I am considered a slow loser at 1 lb per week. I love my band. I am so glad I had it done. Good luck to you.

Hi there and welcome.

I too had tried everything including phenphen and the band is the first thing that's worked for me. My weightloss has slowed down some but still I could have never done it without my band.

Welcome to LBT! I was a self pay too, and I have never been sorry to fund it myself! Good Luck!

Welcome!! I am hoping insurance pays, but if it doesn't I'm determined to find the financing some how.....

This board is so great for inspiration and information!

Jean welcome to lapband talk!

Congratulations on taking the first steps to the rest of your new life!

Keep us posted.
