Hey all ..

It's great to find a "new" forum to be a part of and spread the gospel of the Banded!

I was banded recently (7-16) and am still feeling my way. I have lost 10 lb so I'm taking it slowly.

It's great to be here and I hope to get to know everyone better!

I am waiting for insurance approval, so nervous!!! I am not very patient when it comes to waiting. I see you are from Louisiana too. Who is your doctor? How are you feeling so far? Hope all goes well, good luck with everything!!!!

Hey Candace .. nice to see a "local"!

I used Dr. Louis Martin at the Weight Management Center at St. Charles in New Orleans. He is absolutely wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone. His staff and the other doctors there, well .. not so much! But the surgery and recovery were easy and I am feeling wonderful.

Who are you using? I know, it's so hard to wait .. maybe it won't take too long.

(The last time I was in Lake Charles, we ate at Miyako .. it was marvelous and I really miss it!)

Best of luck to you!

I am going to use Dr. Felix Spiegel in Pt. Netches(Beaumont, TX). I met with him and really liked him, he explained everything to me and answered ALL of my questions, he was very easy to talk to and put me at ease. It's great to hear you are doing well, keep me posted on your progress. I will be thinking of you.

Have a great weekend.
