Consult with surgeon Friday, he said I would be an excellent candidate. I have to drive about 200 miles for my appointments. Pretty nervous about the whole insurance deal after reading other posts.

I have been a yo-yo dieter for more than 3/4 of my life, 2 years ago I weighed 140lbs doing the Body 4 Life program, which I really liked, just got very burned out. Today I'm 5'7/261lbs and ready for a life change!!

Congratulations on embarking on this exciting journey! Good luck!

Welcome to the forum. You will find so much information and support here. Me and my husband are on the banding countdown... scheduled for surgery Oct. 1. I hope this is the yo-yo answer for us too. Best of luck, keep us informed of your progress. Mary

Thank You!, I am so excited about this change in my life. You look like you are doing GREAT!!!
