I currently am just about there as far as my pre op requirements. My insurance required a six month process. I should be ready to go by April. My BMI is 41. Please do not wait till you are older. If I had to do it all over again I would have accepted that this problem required help that no diet alone could conquer. I will have my proceedure done in Windber Pa. I simply cannot wait for a chance of a new start! Good luck with your journey!

Hi, Curently going through the 6 month insurance hoop. Dr. Marley in Windber Pa. will be doing by band. So...any advise etc would be apreciated!

Dear Moonrider, The CNA's have a very difficult job, I respect them for all they do, often with little respect, and certainly not enough monetary compensation. I wish you success and may be worth remembering...don't do anything about excessive weight, and it is most certainly a premature death due to all the complications that will eventually "get ya".

I also just happen to be a Nurse. Began as an ICU Nurse, and for the last 21 years work Long Term Care. Currently ADON at a great facility. I should be banded by April 08, and am very excited at the possibility of increased energy, and perhaps enjoy for once Clothes shopping!!!

Hi everyone! I am on my way to having the lap band (had 3 of the 6 required dr. visits).. I am excited about this venture, although wonder if this means never a cold glass of beer? Or a glass of wine?

thank you so much for the words of encouragement!! I too am a Nurse and know all the wrong things that I have done to contribute to my failures with weight loss!!! I am truly hoping that this journey will be a life changing event for me. Thanks again!

thanks for the reply :bubbly butt" (smile) You wouldn't happenen to be a Nurse now would ya>
