Hi My name is Kim I am in the process of getting Banded. The weight loss center is sending my paper work to my Insurance company. I am very excited! The wait is going to be hard. I wish I would have started the process along time ago. I hope it doesn't take too long. I have tried all kinds of diets and failed. I did do weight watchers and lost 20 lbs in 5 months, but also gained it back. I am ready to get skinny. I know the wait will be worth it though.
