Hey everyone! I'm new here, obviously. My husband told me about this site. He was banded 05/21/07, and I have my consultation with the surgeon 03/27/08. I'm excited and nervous. I meet all the qualifications, we just need to submit it to my insurance to get the ball rolling. I meet the 100lbs and 40+ BMI, but my insurance requires me to have 6 doctors visits in 6 months.

Hi Myturn, welcome to our site!

Look around and be sure to check out the pre-op posts. You will find them very helpful as you will need as much support and help as you can get. Keep us posted on how you are doing!

You know, I could really get in trouble on this site. The is so much to read and learn and my computer at work is so much faster than the one I have at home:biggrin2:

I am really excited. I have two family members that have had GB and my DH had LP almost a year ago, so I know I'm ready now.

Welcome! I am also from East Texas. I live in Pittsburg. Who is your surgeon?? Where do you live?? I can definately say this is the best decision that I have made in a VERY long time.

I hear you, I'm on here more than I do work at my desk! Ooops... shouldn't say that I guess. LoL

RENEWEDHOPE - I live in Tyler. Dr C Beall is my surgeon. He also did my husband LB

I am about an hour south of Tyler. Dr Querry here in Pittsburg did my surgery. I wish you the best.
