Hello All- I live in Los Angeles but about to move back to Salt Lake City. Anyone know if they do banding at University of Utah Med Center? Also anyone have experience with having rheumatoid arthritis with lots of meds and how that affects getting banded? And finally, can anyone recommend a free seminar on banding for me to attend to start my journey? Thanks in advance!

I'm just getting started, too. Where in Utah are you located? Perhaps we can support each other through this.

Hello CherieLynne,

My mom has been to a couple free seminars, she also has RA and is on alot of meds. She hasn't been banded yot due to some other health issues. I can find out more about the seminars and let you know, better yet, I'll try to get her on the forum so she can share her own experiences.

Good Point! I don't know why they would care? You'd think they would want the business. Maybe they think I'm going to pay with peso's!

Thanks Dave, I'd love to hear from your mom. She's in Salt Lake City and going through this process, too?

Yes, well she lives in Alpine. She's been approved for the lap band but not scheduled yet. She will be the 5th one in our family to have it done. She's going to gather the info on who does the procedure here and some seminars you can attend and then I'll let you know. The rest of us had ours done in Mexico.

Looks like you and I are the newbies, so perhaps we can help each other through this process. I'm moving back to Salt Lake mid January and plan to go to a seminar soon after that. We'll be living in The Avenues. You?

Hello Utah! I just moved to SLC from L.A. and want to go to a seminar on the lapband followed by the road to lapband surgery. Do you recommend Dr. Aldredge? Any other doctors? I have serious rheumatoid arthritis so I do have some concerns re the meds I take and how that would work with the surgery. Thanks in advance, all!--Cherie

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
