I have been overweight my entire adult life. I have tried every diet that ou can think of-WW, Atkins, HCG, and on & on. I was cautious about surgery but my sister had the band placed a little over a year ago and has lost a significant amount of weight SO, I decided it was something I needed to pursue further. In order to have benefits for the surgery through our health insurance I had to have a six month physician monitored weight loss program and a psychological evaluation. The supervised weight loss program was beneficial as it gave me the time to carefully consider whether or. not to go forward with the surgery!! So here I am, I had Iband, which entails folding and suturing a portion of the stomach ( kind of like the sleeve but not permament) and placement t of the gastric band. My surgery was 8/912 and I am very excited about the journey before me!!
