Good luck to you. I'm just starting my work up. I've gained about 20 lbs since I've been thinking about getting lapband. I don't know if this is expected....I just keep thinking why bother.....I know that's not a good thing. I'll be checking for you after the 4th....You'll do just great...

You will do great. I am trying to get approved in Lubbock or El Paso as my insurance says they won't approve anywhere else.

Hi Wendy--I'm in Sherman--just got my band on the 28th! doing good!

Good Luck Wendy

I'm in San Antonio and just got my band on the 31st. I'm a little sore but other than that okay.

Hi There!! I am in Austin and ready for my jouney to begin!!!

Congrats, I am in Tyler Texas and I am waiting for insurance approval with UHC. I spoke with my caseworker today and she said that I should hear something tomorrow. (They needed ANOTHER letter from my PCP) Say a prayer for me!

You are almost there WendyRae. Do you have everything ready? I am sure you are excited. Everything will be fine. Don't forget to post when you feel up to it. We want to know how you are doing.
