Allison I will all be thinking of you tomorrow and it will go so fast .. I too was banded on the 19th and this is the first day I really feel good .. Still tired but totally feeling like myself again ..They say the 10th day is the wonder day ..Maybe it takes that long to get all the junk out of our trunk .. So happy everyone is doing well .

Hey there I am 60 and just had my band on the 19th.. I am doing great .Yes you have to go through a lot more pre testing but I am so glad they do it like that. I too was afraid I was too old but they do this operation on 70 year olds too.. Never to old to feel better ... I can't wait to get off my meds.

Thank-you so much for the insight ..That is so good to know .. -
Hi there I just had my surgery done on the 19th by Dr. B .. We had to pay about 3000.00 out of pocket. I feel it is totally worth it for all that comes with the program. I would talk to th einsurance people there first and see if they can help you ..Explain to them just like you did in this e-mail..It is a great clinic and dr. DeBarros is AWESOME ... Before paying though make sure they can help you ..They do go the extra mile to help in everyway .Wish I could say more but they the clinic will have you take many tests but your insurance will pay for that .. WLIZ is very through .. I think you have a great chance just don't give up ... Kathy

I admire you for going out ..I haven't yet but am doing more and more each day ..Even walking slow on the treadmill ..Take care and don't over do ..It will get better .. Are you getting enough sleep ??? Band Buddy

Don't panic but they have told me not to expect any weight loss till my first fill .. Don't worry you are doing great and it will continue to be better. Hang in there ...
