I am scheduled to meet with my PCP on the 15th to discuss getting banded. I am hoping that it goes smoothly, my BMI is 43 & I have severe sleep apnea. My HMO is Kaiser in Portland and I haven't really been able to find out a lot about the process at the Portland Kaiser but I am praying for no hiccups. I am a former college football player that has packed on over 108 pounds over the last 10 years, which places me at 338. This is due to being unable to workout or be active due to injuries I sustained while playing. I am hoping that the weight loss will allow me to get active again, erase my apnea, and ease the pain I experience when my activity increases. Wish me luck!!

Had my appointment with my PCP at Kaiser and everything went well. I officially have a BMI of 43 with 3 comorbidities (sleep apnea, hypertension, and high tryglycerides). He gave me a referral to KPNW Biatric Clinic so I am in a holding pattern for now.

Thanks Brandy! Yes Portland, Oregon. At least the Portland Metro area.

Thanks Serenity!! Will do!
