Hi!

My name is Michelle and I am 32 years old. I have a great husband and 2 super boys (ages 7 and 9). I am not yet banded but according to the doc, I should be sometime in January! I have done the sleep study, the blood work, the nuritionist, and go for my psych eval next Friday. My doc doesnt expect any hassle from my insurance company (I have High BP and could stand to lose 100 pounds) so hopefully thats the way it will go.

I am poking around here trying to learn as much as I can before this major life change!

I have lots of questions but am finding my own answers to many just by reading all your posts!!!

Hello there...wanted to wish you luck with the process of getting banded. I'm right here moving along with you. Slowly but surely checking off the list of things that need to be done. Maybe we'll end up being banded around the same time and we can help each other along. Good luck and let me know how you're making out!

Sherry, Where in MA are you? I think I recall you saying you were going to go through BIDMC......I think!! I was just curious where you were. I have seen lots of MA folks but nobody seems near me!
