Hi... I'm Angie. I just started my steps to better health. I went to see my pcp last month and told her that I was thinking about wls. She seemed very pleased with that. She sent me for blood work. And said she would write a referral letter, and to come back in 6 weeks. I have uhc oxford they said it was covered. I know from reading here there will be many steps to get to my goal, but I been big all this time a lil longer won't hurt. I'm 5"2 244. So I'm shot and plump.. lol. I would like to know if anyone was or is on depo shots before or after surgery?

Welcome! I haven't been banded yet so can't speak for that. But as far as the Depo shot... I hated it! I took it a few years back. It was one of the major reasons I began to gain weight! I sincerely hope it hasn't had the same affect on you. But if you've noticed more weight gain while on it, I would consider changing my birth control. Good luck! =)
