So, I've been going through the process to get banded! I've completed my Nutrinist and Psych eval.

I did the Psych eval, tuesday, he said he would try to get it faxed by friday. So hopefully monday i can call and set up the rest of the process, which i believe is pre-op and post-op classes & surgery scheduling.

I'm going to Richmond Surgical Group & with Dr. Shroder (sp?).

My story is pretty typical. I've struggled with my weight my whole life, my family is overweight...blah blah blah.

So it should be fun to have some folks to share with, since no one i know actually KNOWS what its like to go through all this :wink:

So here we go!

Alyx--I am also with Richmond Surgical (Dr. Brengman). I will be having surgery at St. Mary's. I have the nutrition workshop in a couple of weeks and have done everything else...I am pretty effing nervous, but this is exactly what I need to turn things around! Keep in touch; maybe I will run into you at the office!

I was banded by Dr. Brengman Jan 4, 2008. You folks are in good hands. Both Brengman and Shroeder are amazing! I LOVE Dr. Brengman!!!!

Good luck on your journey. I'll be cheering for you!
