Good morning! I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Amy, I am the mother of 2 beautiful children and have been married for 7 years...I hope to have my surgery in June....I have finished all pre-op testing, I am just waiting for the Therapist to turn in my psych evaluation to the doctor.....after that it will be submitted to insurance and I hope to be approved quickly!

I look forward to getting to know you all!! :tongue2:

Hi Amy, Congrats on allmost getting there, I have been banded for 3 months. I live in Delaware next to Elkton, Maryland.

Good Luck!

Good luck to you on your journey, and hope you get your band soon. I am having my surgery on June 27th in Houston. Maybe we can be june losers together. Keep us posted.

Hi Amy. Where are you going for your band? I live in Bowie and my surgeon is Dr. Kim Steele at Johns Hopkins Bayview. I'm almost a year out now and loving band life!

Stephanie

I am going to Shady Grove Hospital with Dr. Barry Greene!

Hi Amy and welcome to LBT! Here's wishing you a speedy approval!

thanks all! I am hoping for June too!!

Hi Everyone,

I've never posted an e-mail before and hope I'm doing this correctly. I'm going to be banded on Sept. 8, 08 by Dr. Averbach at St. Agnes, in Maryland. The closer the date the more nervous I get. I guess that's to be expected. I've been on the internet for months reading different blogs and posts, and have to say that a lot of them have not been very up-beat. I was getting kind of depressed after reading them, but than I saw Amy's introduction post and read your reply's and noticed that you are all doing so well with your weight loss and that makes me feel so much better about my surgery.

Thanks for listening to the new girl.
