Good luck Kristen, I hope all goes well for you. I am one month away from being banded and I can't wait already :thumbup:. Let us all know how ur doing.

I as well had no problem getting approved. My BMI is 41, I have Lumenos BC/BS. I as well did'nt have to do a 6 month diet or any of that. Good luck and I hope it goes well.

Great job...I get my band on November 25th and I pray I get results that good. Keep up the great work!!:thumbup:

Good luck Heather. The seminars are a great way to get info, and so are support group meetings. This sight is awesome as well, I just came across it last week and love it. I just started my journey in July and am getting banded November 25th, it was a breeze for me as well. Keep in touch let us all know how ur doing.:thumbup:

Congrats...one step closer to your goal. :thumbup:

Don't feel bad Lisa, you'll find alot of us who feel the same way u do. I too am 5'10''-5'11", and i'm @ 290. I have joint pains, knee problems, gurd ect... I too should be @ 170-180lbs. After going to the seminars and researching and talking to people who have had the band, I know this is the best thing I could ever do for me. Like u I have a family and get caught up with what THEY need and want. Well this is for me, I want to play volly-ball again, go hiking and just shop for cute clothes again. Good luck and I hope you find what's best for YOU. The seminars, support groups and this sight are the best way to get answers.

You have hit it right on for alot of us Tina, we all are there or have been there. I too am tall and carry my weight to where people don't know what my real weight is. I work with full day kindergartners and it's all I can do to stand all day and keep up with them. I have to have a badge with my pic on it, and I hate it. I hate what I let myself get to. I'm getting my band on November 25th, I start my pre-op Tuesday. Good luck and I hope ur journey is a good one.:thumbup:

Thanks so much, I get on here every day to see what all is going on and what questions people ask and answers. It's beautiful here right now and it's getting cold. I live close to Michigan, I live in Pierceton, it's about an hour and a half drive. Hope to chat at all of u soon!!

Like u I have been big most of my life and I too am being banded in November (25th), good luck and stay stay strong. I'm sure you'll do great. :thumbup:

Congrats , I was approved last month and I finally start my process the 27th, my band date is November 25th. I hope your journey is a good one!!

I am new to this site and I am getting banded November 25th, I am excited as well. My cousin just got banded two weeks ago and has lost 23 pounds so far (that's including pre-op liquid). But good luck and let me know how all goes.
