Hi Everyone,

My name is Sheri. I'm 36 and overweight. I too have tried all the weight loss programs, yadda yadda. :help: I've had a number of friends and people I know who've done Gastric Bypass. It terrifies me!!!!!!!! :omg: Then I heard of the Lap Band - and I'm not so scared (easy for me to say, as I'm just only investigating!). I have made the first step and I've registered for a seminar TOMORROW evening where the Doctors/Surgeons speak, intro everyone to the device, etc. My current insurance doesn't pay for the device, however my company is up for insurance renewal for 2007 in the month of November. I'm hoping I can learn what companies WILL pay…and I'm hoping to be a few steps ahead of the game, so I can perhaps get the Band in early 2007. I've not read many of the threads on here; but now that I've found you all - you can be certain I'll be reading every one!!

In any weight loss regimine, support is KEY! I'm glad I've found you all!! I'll be updating my profile shortly.

Thank you,

Sheri

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
