New Here...Hello

Hello, My name is Sherry and was browsing when I came across this site. i am looking forward to hearing and sharing banding news and experiences. I was banded on Dec.18,2008 in Dallas by Dr. Jay (prestonwood center). As of today I have lost 20.5 pounds. I feel better and have been walking 2-3 miles 6 days a week. I recieved my first fill on Wednesday 01-21-09 5cc and am a full liquid diet until Wednesday. I do not know anyone personally that has been banded and am looking forward to all that this site has to offer. Would appreciate some support from any and all. Thanks!!!!!!!:thumbdown:

    Thanks. Glad to know someone that has had the band at least a little close to the time I had mine. My first fill was on Wednesday and I have been on a liquid diet since.Today is the first day that I have actually been hungry and I can't seem to get my tummy to stop growling!

    I was told that if that happens my insurance would pay to have it fixed. Strange that they will pay to have it fixed but not pay to have it placed because in the long run hopefully we will be saving them money on RX's and other stuff due to the obesity. But that's insurance for you:blush:

    Do you know since we are self pay what happens if our band slips ? Just curious.
