Hi everyone!
My name is Erika. I'm 22 years old and a prospective lapbander. I joined this site in hopes of getting more familiar with the pre-processes and procedures, as well as the aftermath.
I'm really nervous about this whole thing and hoping that my insurance approves me with not many problems. I found a doctor that I have been told by some of his other patients will really fight for you.
I look forward to getting to know all of you and wish you the best on your happy, healthy new lives! :tt1:
