Just found the website and what a Godsend!!! I am waiting for insurance approval - MD said it may be as soon as this Wednesday. I am very excited to begin this journey and make some new friends along the way. Best wishes to all you!!!

good luck and let me be the first to say congrats on the weight I know you will loose. I live in conroe so we are close, I had my surgery 10/07 and have currently lost 117 lbs. and I know you will do great.

I am also from Spring and am 2 yrs post band. This is the best thing you could possibly do for your family and yourself. I have been at goal for over a year. Good luck.

Welcome from one just down 1960 from you.

Glad you're here.

Thank you for the welcome! Your weight loss is amazing! That's actually right where I want to be. I'm very excited! I am seeing Dr. Wilkenfeld there in Conroe at 242 and 45. Do you have any input on him?

Debbie, thanks so much for taking the time to respond and offer your words of encouragement. You know, it hit me about three weeks ago that I've spent an ENORMOUS amount of time negatively thinking/dieting/dealing with weight and I am so hopeful that taking this step will begin to put an end to that. I am very excited to get started!! Your weight loss is amazing!

Thank you for taking the time to respond and CONGRATULATIONS on your amazing weight loss. I am very excited to get started on this journey! I am still waiting for approval but am very hopeful because apparently my insurance is good and approves within 1-2 weeks. I'm seeing Dr. Wilkenfeld at I45 and 242, just in to Conroe. Have you ever heard of him? Again, thanks for the time in responding! kathi

Oh wow, I used to live on the Houston/Spring border (I-45 and 1960)!! Welcome. I am new too. I will have my psych eval on Thursday which, thankfully, is the ONLY thing my insurance company requires of me to get this thing started!

I see where you got your surgery date set. Congratulations!!! I'm still waiting for approval but I'm hoping!! Keep in touch and let me know how it goes!
