Morning,

Browsing the interent for info on Banding. I've made up my mind that this is the best option for me and want to hear from others about their expericneces. I have yet to find negative experiences anyone have any. Seems too good to be true and want to be fully prepared with knowledge.

Thanks

There is a lot of information on these boards. Do a lot of browsing and you'll learn almost anything you ever wanted to know.

There are some down sides to having a band - erosion, port infections, never again having some favorite foods/drinks (if they won't go down), but overall, the majoirty of the experiences you'll find are good ones.

Thanks Helen, yeah I posted that, then started browsing around and have found out lots of information.

That depends on a lot of factors...some people only have to wait a few weeks....some MONTHS. I am a MONTHS person...insurance is a big factor. If you're going through insurance, call them and ask them to send you the requirements for WLS.

I will start that today, I called and my doctor had to send in a predetermination letter. But it is COVERED. Baby step #1 I've go my surgerons appt for 4/13/07. Help me not to be so nervous about the process:faint: :help:
