Hi All,
I have not been banded as of yet but am considering it & will decide in the next month or so. I have already recieved my referral & taken the psych exam & passed. I am sending in the weight loss history tomorrow & will wait to hear from the insurance. I am currently 243 & 5'6" according to the last measurement (where I tried to slouch as much as possible to take off a 1/2" or more) LOL - you see I am not quite 40 BMI> But I am close at 37BMI & have gerd & knee problems once in awhile. I love this site & have learned alot thus far. Congrats to all that have taken control of thier lives! I hope to have the courage to join you as well.
Warmly
I'll succeed

Best of luck to you! That's too funny about your "slouching"! LOL But your health problems should figure into the insurance co's decision.

Forgot to mention I am from Michigan & if I am banded will go to Dr Hawashi. I just turned 38 & would love to have a child someday - so that is why I think the band is the best choice. Thank you all for saying hello.

Hi! My name is Holly and I was banded by Dr. Ortiz on 11/24/04. I live in Northeastern OH and I have lost 16 pounds so far. I had my first fill yesterday in Mexico. I am excited to get back on the road downward. I am a 5th grade school teacher. I learned about this site from Michelle at Dr. Oritz's office. I am exicted to get to know all of you!

Welcome Holly
Your not that far from where I am-Detroit. How much do you want to lose total & why did you have to go ALL the way to Mexico for your fill? Was it something already included w/your doc who is there? Or have you looked into fill in Ohio & Or Mich? 16 pds is great - your doing very well ! Congrats!
