Hi cassie I am hoping that i will be banded at the end of oct and would love some support! ebony

hello all...... My first consultation meeting was about 2 hrs long. the first hour was me getting weighed and them asking alot of questions about my weight my diet, lifestyle, etc.... then they explained the different procedures that i might want to get. then I talked to the insurance person. then finally I was given a packet to give to my primary doctor and a form for my bloodword and I was done! it helped alot that I knew what surgery I wanted to do. I hope tis helps you. eb
