Newbie from NJ

I just attended a seminar last night. There was also a person there who was banded 3 weeks ago, so it was good talking with her. I'm still nervous but I know it's right for me. My only problem is I'm not sure if I'll meet the criteria. I'm 70 lbs overweight & don't have any medical problems although there is a history of diabetes in my family. But I've tried every "diet" and weight loss technique out there & nothing works. I'm going to call my insurance company today. Is anyone from the Bergen County, NJ area? I'd love to hear your experiences. If I'm able to do this, my doctor would be Dr. Davis.
