I just found this site and I'm very pleased to be here. I am having a little trouble navigating, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it... eventually. :cross-eye

I'm 37, partnered for 7 years. We live with our 3 strange cats near Seattle, WA. I have been researching the band for nearly 2 years. I'm ready to move forward now. I have one last eval to complete before my paperwork is submitted to the insurance company. I have good coverage and I'm fairly confident that I will receive approval soon after the paperwork is sent.

I look forward to making new friends here. It looks like a very supportive community, and don't we all need that when we are going through such a transformation? I think so. OK it's back to lurking for me while I try to get a handle on this website. lol

Kira M ~ Hope you hear something soon on your approval. Wishing you lots of success as you enter your new journey!!!! WElcome to LBT anmd hope you hang around. There is so much to learn on the new and old threads. Let us know when you get a band date!!

Welcome Kira. I too hope that you get a favorable response from your insurance company soon. I live near Seattle (in Des Moines) and have been banded for 6 months. I'm happy with my progress thus far in my journey. If you need any advice or support, let me know. There are several support groups that meet around the NW, if you want some info on them please let me know.

Welcome Kira!

Thank you for the warm welcome. I will be sure to update when I'm further along in the approval process. Corinne, I would love to hear about local support groups. I'm on the eastside in Kirkland.

Hope you all have a great day.

Welcome! Nice to meet you!
