Hello MyNuLife aka "Trim" to me....I'm enjoying reading everything on this site - it makes me know we have made a good decision here. I'm really grateful for our insurance as well, I was in "chat" earlier and heard people talking about having to pay cash and even go out of the country to do this - we are soooo lucky! Talking about added travel expenses even to go for a fill! I'm looking forward to getting to know others on this site. Talk to you soon, your ol' buddy Slim:)

Hi Jewels....I noticed in another post that you were going thru Dayton Bariatric....I am too! I was also surprised in reading on this one that you went to the slide presentation on 2/14 since I went to that also! I was originally shceduled for 2/12 and we had such awful weather it was postponed. I have an appt w/Dr Bruce 2/28 and hopefully after visiting a nutriitonist 2/29 all the footwork will be done. When I started researching lap band after the first of the year I found great info, but most of the before/after stories were by people that had RNY. A friend at work that was banded by Dr Bruce told me of this site and I am so very grateful! The more I read on this site, the more confident I am that this is the right choice for me.

Hi all! I'm from Ohio too and like another person on here, will be going thru the Dayton Bariatric Center. Hopefully I will be scheduled sometime in March or April. Right now I'm doing all the footwork that's required and by the end of the upcoming week I should have all my appointments done and a tentative surgery date. I'm really anxious to get this done. I have a few friends at work that have had it done w/great results so far. Also another friend at work that is going thru this step by step w/me and that helps also. This is a great website as so many others are mostly RNY patients and while we're going for the same results, I was wanting to hear more from people that have been banded. I know this will add years to my life as well as quality to my life....I just can't wait!
