Was your pre-op process long and complicated?? My Dr. seems to think that mine will not be too bad...and she says her is experience with my insurance provider has been good in the past...she is compiling all my records, history and info to send to the bariatric hospital....thanks for sharing with me...it sure helps!

Hi Katydid! Thanks so much for your post! I am looking forward to moving forward on this journey..I kinda feel like I am still such a newbie that I don't what questions to ask. I was glad to see a forum for people our age... My primary care Dr. has a friend who had the procedure last February and has done really well. I also have a friend a work that was banded in April...she and I have been weight-loss buds for many years...but she didn't tell me about her band...when I inquired what program she was currently following, she fianally told...she has lost 56 pounds since April. Your weight-loss and increase in confidence and energy...while shrinking in size is very exciting and encouraging! My friend did tell me about the occasional issue with PBing...she just didn't call it that...:-) I just found out that another friend's daughter was just banded 2 weeks ago...so I think God is trying to tell me something!
