I am a self-payer also. While it was a good chunk of $$, I do not regret it t all. I was banded on 11/6/09 and just starting my journey. :redface:

Hi It is wonderful to hear that you met your goal!!! You are a true inspiration. I live in Castle Rock, WA and would love to have you as a buddy. I was banded on 11/6 and just starting my journey.

Hi All, I was banded on 11/6 and doing great so far. Still feel a bit bloated, but it is much better than it was. Went back to work after one week and the only trouble was the pressure from my pants. So wore a stretch type pant the next day. Dr has me on mushy foods until next week, then I go to whatever I can tolerate. Not much pain, so that is good. Since the surgery I have lost 8 lbs, so that brings me to a total of 25 lbs lost including pre-op diet. Can't wait to see how much we will all lose by Christmas!! Good Luck to all. Linda:thumbup:

I have just started my lap band journey in the past 2 weeks. I have been on the pre-surgery diet for 1.5 weeks and have lost 15.5 lbs already. My surgery is scheduled for 11/6 and I am so very excited. I know that there will be challenges, but I am very committed. I look forward to updating my profile and post my journey. Welcome any advice.:thumbup:
