After 17 months..

[betty_s 476]

.. I'm finally getting banded today! The 12 months of insurance required "coaching", switching doctors, 5 weeks to get approved by insurance.. It's ALL been worth it. All these obstacles have only made me realize this is exactly the right decision! Thank you all for the support so far, I'm really glad I stumbled upon this site.

I hear ya! I think it took me about the same amount of time or a little longer to get to this day. About 1 year of it was my own procrastination and silly fear of losing my binkie(food).

Congrats betty. I can tell from your posts that you are dedicated to succeed. Can't wait till you are on the other side and start to post your own stories of life after being banded.
