Hi to everyone. I am a 33 years old female who is in the preop portion of bandster land. I am 5'6" and 273lbs. I began my journey into learning about the band in October. By the end of January, I will have completed all required tests and evaluations. Hopefully, I will be banded in March. My surgeon appears to have a wait list. I live within the Hampton Roads area. This site is wonderful. It is full of knowledge, insight and support. My excitement about regaining my health and self esteem is overwhelming. I just wanted to introduce myself and join in on the chats.

Hey Harmony,

I'm Heather. 43 years old in 2 weeks. 5'7" and 274lbs. I have been looking an listening since last year. My insurance plan just changed in 08 so I will be covered. Just finishing up my 6mth Dr. supervised visits so I can get the ball rolling for surgery. My Insurance requires this 6 mth doc record so I have been playing the waiting game. I am ready.... Tired of the unrecognizable reflection. This is an awesome Group here. I have learned a WHOLE lot. Taking good notes from these Bandsters. Good Luck and lets keep in touch on our progress.

Thanks ,

Heb
