Hi to all. I am new from Dallas Tx and I am thinking about getting banded. I thought about this last yr and then family members talked me out of it and I just stopped looking at the procedure all together. WELL...here i am again! Looking into the procedure. I am almost 100% that I want it done. I am scared because I have never been put to sleep to begin with and I have heard people vomit alot with the band and I cant deal with that at all! YUCK! I am 4'9 and I am 235 lbs.People always tell me that I look good because I am proportionate but I dont think so. I want this weight off! I have tried diets, pills, weight watchers, ear staples (acupuncture) and more and I do ok for a while and off the wagon I fall. I need all the advice I can get. Looking for a good Dr here in Dallas. Not sure how I am going to pay for procedure because I dont have insurance and I dont think that I am going to be able to get financed because I dont have any credit which is the same as BAD credit. If anyone has any answers to any of my questions, pls pls pls shed some light. I wish all a Happy Weekend!
