Hello everyone! I'm so glad I found this message board. I've been reading for a week or so ago and thought I would post. People are so supportive and I've learned a lot.

I've been thinking about getting banded for the past couple of years and recently found out that my insurance will finally pay for it. Yippee! I have some major medical problems related to my weight and am scared at the outcome if I don't get the weight off. I went to a seminar about a month ago and saw the nutritionist yesterday.

I look forward to going through this journey and getting healthy.

Hi there and welcome, we are glad you decided to join us! I am sure losing weight will definitely help with some of your health problems, I know it did for me.

Let us know when you get a surgery date and how things are progressing for you.

Susan, thanks for the warm welcome.
