Just getting going...

I am just starting the process. I've had the blood tests, chest xray.. etc and will be having my psych eval and meeti with the sleep apnea clinic also. ACcording to Dr. Sudan's office I may still be able to be banded in May! Any success stories from anyone who is already banded?? Can't wait to hear! I'm a sponge! Susan L

Hi Susan, I am happy for you. I had my band done over 3 years ago. I have lost 110 lbs. I am no longer diabetic or have high blood pressure. I feel great. The best part about it is that I have maintained my weight loss for over a year. I preferred the band because it wasn't as invasive. I don't regret it for a minute. It took me about 2 years to lose the weight. You can lose the weight as fast or as slow as you want. Hope this helps. Mona
