Thank you Wasa, I've not been banded yet, still need to lose 13 lbs and was pretty depressed that I wasn't really putting the effort into accomplishing that goal. talk about motivation!! You got me there so Thanks again. Cathy
I also took chantix and it worked wonderfully, 6 months as of 4/15. I gained about 40 lbs but now thinking its not all due to chantix. I have a new water softener and my body is sensitive to sodium. I smoked 1-1 1/2 packs per day and thought I would never be able to quit. Now waiting for approval from insurance to get my band. Hope it comes soon.
Hi Joan C I'm from near Elmira NY and also new to the site. I'm in mo.2 of 6 for supervised weight loss. Excited and scared and can't wait for the 6 mos to be over with. Good luck to you. Cathy (MedRN)
well now I'm pretty bummed. Have to wait 6 mos due to the insurance. I know others have been through the same process. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Guess theres nothing to do but wait:mad:
