October 09 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I am starting this thread for those of us who have begun the mandatory 6 month wait common with some insurances.

I am scheduled to be banded 10/23/09. I am trying to walk, drink Protein and get thru the mandatory doctor's visits and testings. I just want to get this done. I am so afraid of gaining weight and being booted from the program. I am also a diabetic on an insulin pump.

I would love to hear from anyone else playing the waiting game.

Hello! I just finished my 6 month "diet" this past February. I just found out this past week that I've been approved and am scheduled for July 20! It was a big pain in the ass to jump through insurance's hoops but will be well worth it in the end.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
