good morning everyone. i have a question for you all. as i stated previously, my husband and i are gonna go thru this together. however, he has not yet made up his mind if he is going to do the band or gb. i talked with him yesterday and was telling him about everything i read just yesterday on this board regarding that. he said that he is just afraid of still being hungry and with the gb some kind of hunger craving whatever is supposedly taken away. and he is looking to drop weight pretty fast, he already has a back fracture caused by his weight. i told him i would support him either way but i really wish he would do the band. help me out here guys. thanks

WOW! it only took your insurance 2 hours to approve your surgery? what insurance company do you have? that seems like a dream come true.

teresa, how did everything go? i notice you are in scottsdale. who did your banding? i am also new and would like any input you can give about how you feel everything went.

thanks for your support. i really liked dr blackstone, and when we went for our initial consult we met with dr. kohler, also very nice and informative.

thanks for the warm welcomes. im sure i will be asking alot of questions. please be patient with me. so when they say that it takes a month for the authorization to go thru is that pretty accurate? i just want it to be over with, but i know.....good things come to those who wait. has anyone else been banded by scottsdale barriatric?
