Hello all, I'm new to this site. Just wanted to make myself known. Im a 25year old female from nc who has been overweight all my life. I'm a also a RN on a bariatric surgery unit. So i work with patients that have had this type of surgery everyday. So, now I have started this journey. I have my first consultation with my surgeon on Jan. 21, 1983. So wish me good luck!!!!!!!

Good luck!!!

Hi Good luck to you!! I'm right there with ya on hoping to have a band soon! :cursing: I've finished most of my testing. I have my sleep study to do tonight and an EGD. My insurance changed, so now I have to undergo a 3-month supervised diet, so hopefully within the next 3 to 4 months I'll have it. I surely hope so.

Please keep us posted on how things go!

Congrats on your decision and good luck!

Congrats to you:) Its the best decision I ever made!

Hi and welcome ! I too am an RN, was in critical care (ER & ICU) for 20 years, however move into the Pharmaceutical field a little over 10 years ago. I have completed all the pre-surgical tasks required by the insurance company and was just approved, surgery is scheduled for the 30th of this month.....a little over 2 weeks away, and I am thrilled.

Good luck to you along your journey !
