    i am also from RI and was banded 5/19 of last year. i have BCBS or RI and the process was not too bad. i had to go through different test, Dr. Pohl has a list that was given to me at the seminar which was the first step. that took me a couple of months to complete. i had started the process the year before. The band is the best thing i could have ever done for myself so you made the right choice. Congratulations.
