Is there anyone located in my area that has been banded or is going to be banded???Looking for a buddy.

I am going through Dr. Jesse Lopez.

Hi Hannah....Welcome to the group. I don't live in your area... I'm in California, but there are a lot of people in all areas that are here and willing to visit and answer questions. So don't give up on us. When did you, or when are you having your lap-band. I had mine done Sept 17, 4 weeks ago. So far so good. Good luck to you.. we are here and we are all buddies..

Thanks Patti, I would love to hear from anyone. I have submitted my info to the insurance so I am just playing the waiting game. How much weight have you lost so far? How do you feel?

Hi,

I am from Olathe and am being banded by Dr. Hoen. I have my consult with him on 11/19 and will get my surgery date then. SO excited!

Hi, I'm from Lenexa and am scheduled for November 24th with Dr. Hitchcock. I have gone to a support group that meets at New Hope, where I"ll have my surgery. Anyone can go to the group, so let's try to meet at the next support group meeting in November, you don't have to be banded there to go. I'm 51 years old, 5'2" and 250 lbs, bmi 44 or so. I am excited and anxious as I'm a self pay and need to see results. I know the monkey will be on my back to make it all happen.

Write back!

I am 5'2 as well at weight 230. I am still waiting for my insurance approval. :biggrin::cool2::wink_smile:...I would love to go to the support group. You can email me at sabirahstrother@yahoo.com.

Hey there! I'm in Wyandotte County and Dr. Hoehn will be doing my surgery as well. I have my first apt with him on November 24th.

I've not attended the support group yet but I am planning to next month. I've been meeting with Dr. Sabapathy and we have been, besides other things, discussing Lap band vs Sleeve.

I'm very excited and hopefull about finally loosing weight and keeping it off. I've gone up and down for most of my adult life but the ups have been more than the downs..so my weight has gone up alot.

I joined LBT and still am reading, reading, reading...

If you want to chat just email me :wink_smile:
