I had my surgery at Albany Med, they have strict rules but I love them!.

Good luck to everyone who was or is about to be banded, I wouldn't change it for anything

well now I'm pretty bummed. Have to wait 6 mos due to the insurance. I know others have been through the same process. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Guess theres nothing to do but wait:mad:

I'm in Watkins Glen. I haven't been banded yet. Have done a lot of the preliminary stuff. Dr. Moon said that I have to lose 30 pounds before he will submit it to insurance. Down 20--10 to go! I can lose weight but can never keep it off. That's why I want the band.

I'm afraid that my insurance company won't approve me until I do the 6 month supervised diet. My PCP wrote a letter with weights from my appointment and said I was on a calorie restricted diet, but I don't know if that will do the trick.

I researched the band for so long, and now that I made up my mind, I want it NOW!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
