Just got my banding date, Jan. 15, 2009. Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. I live in Bucks County. Any other January '09 banders or Temple patients out there?

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:

Are you self pay?

I am getting banded on Jan 16th in Newport Beach, CA by Dr. Hamamji. Merry Xmas!

Are you self pay?

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?
