Hello, My name is Talitha and I just recently started my lap-band journey. I do not have a surgery date yet because my insurance require I see specialists and go to 6 months of classes before I can schedule. I just had my first appt with my surgeon Dr. Monk on Wednesday and my next class is 1/11. I am excited to start this and get healthy. But I am also scared. I saw what my mother went through with her GB and she still struggles. I have been overweight my whole life and have failed at every possible weight loss attempt. But I am a strong woman and I am ready!!!

Good Luck! I noticed your Doc is Dr. Monk. Are you from York? I used to live there and knew several people that went to him. I'm in Minnesota now and was banded here! It's a long road to get your surgery but well worth it!

Yes, I live in york. I had a choice between Dr. Monk and Dr. Garber.. I wanted Dr. Monk because he did my mothers GB.

I used to work at Community Progress Council for Head Start and I know a couple teachers there had Dr. Monk. They really liked him a lot and recommended him to me but my insurance wouldn't pay till after I moved from there. I think you'll be happy with him.
