Hi, Almost there for banding in oct. Any other from Maine?

Hi,

I am in Maine as well. Not banded yet, but heading in the right direction!!

I'm in Oct, but I also live in Massachusetts. But hey, I'm going to Maine the last weekend of Sept. Bunch of us going to Wells Beach! Yahoo!

Hello all -

I am a banded Mainer (Mainah....) Where from? I'm in So. Portland. Banded last November and avid reader of the "Slow Losers" thread - yes, slow weight loss, but NOT ONE REGRET!!

Welcome!

Hi Girls,

I live in Hollis Maine. I am still waiting on my appt at Dr Cobean's office. I am relying on this site for lots of good info.

Everyone is sooo Encouraging!

waiting for band in Augusta...should be banded early January

Hi Kbzz - Dr Cobean was my surgeon - you will have a good experience with the folks at the Bariatric Center....Good luck!

im from maine too. i grew up in bar harbor in the summers and bangor in the winter. i miss my maine lobster. i havent been back to maine in like 10 years....... i hate the cold dreary weather but i miss skiing at squaw mountain and all the fun snowmobiling......... id freeze if i left arizona to go back.....

I am also waiting on an appt with Dr. Cobean. Have started the process and I am patiently or rather impatiantly waiting!! I am on the midcoast in Newcastle!

I can tell you that I got my PCP referral in Dec 05, had my first appointment with Dr. Cobean in March 06, started working on the "requirements", signed my surgical consent in May 06, saw two or three surgical dates come and go (thanks to Aetna), and finally got banded in Nov. 06 - slow weight loss, VERY Slow - but absolutely not a single teeny regret - I am so grateful for this "tool"!
