Well this is my very first post..I'm being banded Jan. 23rd by Dr. Sidney Rohrscheib in Urbana, IL. I start my pre-op diet Jan. 9th. I'm nervous but as it gets closer I'm getting excited thinking about the possibilties. Good luck everyone!!! :tongue2:

I can't wait for the next three weeks, I am so ready to start the process, at 247 lbs, 5' 2", I am so uncomfortable. And, I very rarely over eat! So, again, I am looking forward to sharing the journey with the '09 bandsters! :tongue2:

No, I am covered Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Had to wait since July and go through the steps, but it was worth it. I have sleep apnea and depression so it was deemed medically necessary. Are you self pay?
