I am new here and am in the process of the band. my Dr. is Pennings in Post Fall, Idaho. I am a self pay. I am 54 and have dealt with obesity since my 20's. I have treid just about everything else, including phen-fen. Anyway, just wanted to say hi. It is nice to be able to see how others are doing on their journey.

Hi Jean, I was banded on June 6th of this year. So far I am down 34 lbs. I am considered a slow loser at 1 lb per week. I love my band. I am so glad I had it done. Good luck to you.

Hi there and welcome.

I too had tried everything including phenphen and the band is the first thing that's worked for me. My weightloss has slowed down some but still I could have never done it without my band.

Welcome to LBT! I was a self pay too, and I have never been sorry to fund it myself! Good Luck!

Welcome!! I am hoping insurance pays, but if it doesn't I'm determined to find the financing some how.....

This board is so great for inspiration and information!
