Hi,

Congrats on your decision to get banded. I was banded in January and for sure it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Hopefully your pain doesn't last long. Within 2 days after being home I no longer needed pain meds. Just be sure to take it easy and don't overdo it.

Best of luck to you.

Hey Ms Carly,

Wishing you the best of luck and relief in the near future.

Hi Yetramc,

Good luck on getting your approval soon. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Anthem and once I met the requirements: psych eval, dietician consult, letter of surgery clearance from my doc and 3 yrs. of weight verification, I was approved within a week or so of the doctors office submitting my application. When I saw that letter in the mail I screamed. Talk about make my day!

Take care.

Hi,

Your success if inspiring. Gonna come back ever so often and read your story. It'll keep me headed in the right direction.

I too will tell you that getting banded was the best thing I've ever done for me....ever. Don't doubt your decision, it'll be well worth it. You'll see.

Have you been banded yet? I was banded late January. I'm down 57 pounds. Talk about best decisions, this was definitely one for me.

Congratulations on your approval!!!!!

Hey Lady,

Today is my 2nd day of full liquids and I'm doing okay. The hospital called and said I need to be there at 5:30 Morning. I think I'm the first surgery that day. I've got my fingers and toes crossed.

Have a great weekend!

Hi sisterfriend....

I just got banded 1/26/09. How are you doing?

He should know! And you've been working on it so you'll be okay.

I'm good. I make my first follow-up visit with the Doc on Tuesday. I'm ready to exercise but will wait for his blessing on it first.

What time are you scheduled for on Monday and do you have to stay overnight?

Hey lady,

Haven't talked to you in a while. How are things going?
