Hi, all. I've been reading posts and journals for a while, but decided to introduce myself. I'm Susan from Euless, TX. I'm just in the process of getting insurance approval for the lap banding procedure. Looks like it may be a long drawn out process. I am seeing Dr. Snow in Bedford and really like him and his staff.

I guess what I've read has been mostly positive, but some of the negative things have me second guessing my choice to have the lap band.

In one journal it talks about thinking about the band, what your eating, not losing fast enough like 24/7. I'm hoping it will be a tool to take my mind off of the food and hunger issue. As far as how fast l lose will depend on my body - what I eat and if I exercise.

I'm really pretty positive about my choice, but guess I'm facing the fear of the unknown.

Thanks for listening,

Susan

Hi Sue, welcome to LBT!

It sounds like you're taking a very realistic view of banding and what it can do. There are lots of Texas people here. You're in the right place! :biggrin1:
