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!

Welcome Alyx, I'm not in my 20's, but spotted your posted and wanted to say hi.

I was banded 1/4/08 by Dr. Brengman from Richmond Surgical. Shroeder is really good, I really love him and Dr. Brengman.

Good luck on your journey!

Congrats on your surgery date! You are about to experience a life changing event!

My daugther is 21 (she'll be 22 in July), I wonder if you ever went to the same school? She went to Brock Road Elm and then Ni River Middle and Spotsy High.
