Hi, I'm a 29 year old single professional who is in the process of trying to get approval (insurance) for lap band surgery. Please feel free to check out my profile for more info. I look forward to posting and learning information and tips from everyone and sharing my own experience.

Welcome! I was banded 8/6/08 and was a 29 year-old professional as well. I just turned 30 so I'm a bit older, though - ha! Good luck!

Thanks! How's it going so far?

So far, so good. I am still on the stage 3 diet (soft foods) and I feel so much better. I had a hard time with stage 2 (protein shakes only) and wasn't able to get enough calories or protein. I am down 39 lbs so far so I am bery excited. Overall, it's been a great decision so far!

Welcome !!!!

Sheila
