Hi FV--I'm having surgery in Bakersfield---have you been banded already?

OMG! Thursday already?!!! WOW---Good Luck!!!

Hi Cindy! I've heard the liquids only phase is really tough...are you hungry a big part of the day, or are you just getting used to it?

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I live in bakersfield and have been looking into being banded seriously now for about a year. I have been shot down by my insurance co. even just for a constult that me and my pcp both agree I need. By November we are going to have new insurance with kaiser and and hopeing for the best with them but, haveing a hard time keeping my hopes up and really have no one to talk about any of this with....So I finaly just joined here hopeing for a little insight or just someone to talk to about all it all.

hopeless in bako,

Dani
