newly banded in New Hampshire

grumpy one · May 26, 2008

Yes folks my time had finally arrived on 5/19. Its been a while since logging on here, been working on this since August of last year. My Bariatic program just kept putting me off and now know how people can lose hope. Having lost 40 pounds before my 2 week liquid diet I was ready and pretty frustrated. My liquid diet kicked my butt but lost another 20 pounds. Now that Ive been banded I know the time was good to restructure my diet and prepare myself. I now am ready to start and make this "Tool" work for me. Everyone needs to keep they`re chins up because the day will come for them also. Thanks for the ongoing support.

Congrats! I'm in NH also waiting for my day. I just started the process and I'm hoping to have it done in July, but we will see. I've heard a lot of stories of people having to wait longer. I'm ready for a change and hoping the process moves along. Keep in touch! What hospital did you go to? I'm going through Portsmouth.

My hospital was Elliot in Manchester with Dr. Gould. The Bariatric classes were @ Dartmouth Hitchcock also in Man. I found that my inns. was the only hangup, so they say. When I called them in Sept. 07 they were only waiting for DHC to call for approval. It really does`nt matter anymore it`s Water over the dam! All I know is it was very informative & it really is up to you so be dedicated to change your life and it will work.
