nurseforlapband 11 Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Hello all, I'm new to this site. Just wanted to make myself known. Im a 25year old female from nc who has been overweight all my life. I'm a also a RN on a bariatric surgery unit. So i work with patients that have had this type of surgery everyday. So, now I have started this journey. I have my first consultation with my surgeon on Jan. 21, 1983. So wish me good luck!!!!!!! Edited January 13, 2009 by nurseforlapband Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PSJ71 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Hi Good luck to you!! I'm right there with ya on hoping to have a band soon! :cursing: I've finished most of my testing. I have my sleep study to do tonight and an EGD. My insurance changed, so now I have to undergo a 3-month supervised diet, so hopefully within the next 3 to 4 months I'll have it. I surely hope so. Please keep us posted on how things go! Paulette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
