Hi Babette, My doctor is Dr. Pinson, in Tupelo. He's a very good doctor, can't tell you much about cost, it was covered by insurance. I can tell you if I had to pay I would have because it well worth it. Good Luck! keep us posted!

Yeah it was, thank you, and congratulation on your accomplishment as well. Looking forward to getting to where you are. Thanks again

thanks, I'm glad everthing went well for you too

Hi Everyone, Just checking in to let you know that i had my first fill and there was no pain. The doctor didn't even numb me. I would whether do this than get a regular shot because I hate getting a shot. I had also lost another 9 lbs which makes a total of 25 lbs lost. Thanks for all the support that I am getting from here and lets all continue to keep going forward. More update soon..

I appreciate that, and congratulation on all your progress.

Hi Everyone, I was banded on 2/17/09, had first doctor's visit today and so far have lost 10 lbs. I will have my first fill 3/30/09 the day after my birthday. Well I don't know just how good this is but I guess they say you don't want to lose it too fast and I guess in this situation a loss is better than a gain, so I'm satisfied with it. Okay and just to let everyone know I am happy about the fill but I am terrorified of needles. So is there anyone with some comforting advice on this. It will be greatly appreciated. Will update again soon, thank again for everyone support

I was banded on 17 Feb 09, - no doubt I am hungry as hell right now and I am looking forward to the mushy stuff. My husband has been encouraging me and he brought up the idea of trying different foods later down the road. In particular, everyone use chicken as the primary Protein, but he wants to me try BISON. He took me to this restaruant 2 years ago and he has researched serveral places to order BISON burgers and steaks. www.highplainsbison.com What are your thoughts?- BISON is supposed to be better than beef and lower in fat and higher in protein! Thanks

thank you, thank you

Thank you Everyone
