I am new to the site and am interested in getting banded. I have just began the process, and I have my first appointment with my surgeon on Thursday, March 5, 2009. I am nervous, excited, scared, and curious all at the same time. I know that I am going to have the surgery, its just thet I must jump through all of the insurance hoops first. My surgeon is Dr. Dexter Turnquest.
