buckeyegirl4 19 Posted January 26, 2013 I went for my 1st consultation today and it went well. Worse case scenario, I have 4 months. If my insurance accepts my previous weight loss attempts then it could be sooner. They tried to "sway" me towards other WLS but I now know 100% I want the band. It may be extra work and more office visits but I still want the band. This site has been amazing to me. She asked if I had any questions and I literally didn't have any. I shared with her my source and it really felt good. I know about the pre op, post op, fills, Protein Shakes, 1/2 cup of food, pain and gas in my shoulder. I learned it all here. Thank you all so much! 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted January 26, 2013 I spent 7mths here before surgery and felt the same way. Matter of fact, you get more info here than most meetings. Where'd I learn about "bandster hell", here. Gas pains, stomach noises, everything, here. 1 buckeyegirl4 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
