Bridget,
thank you for letting us know of your success.
I have a couple of questions.  First, I never
did hear about my insurance either way. 
I was banded in KC/OP and I assume it was denied.
What is a good way for me to follow up?
Second, do you hear many stories where the band did not help at all? 
I read of so many successes in 5-6 months, with 20-60 pounds lost.
I was banded 08/04/2006, and I haven't lost one single pound.
I admit I could be doing more walking, but I feel like
this is just one more failed attempt at losing this weight.
I have gone for my fills, and I eat about half of what I used to eat.
I was just wondering if I am the only one!
-Sandy

Hello this is Bridget I'm a patient and also a employee. I have been
banded since 06/2005 I've lost 85 pounds, and I've gone from a size 20
to a 13-14 in juniors. So you see I've lost more inches than pounds,
but it all falls off together. This was the best decision that I
could have made. My life has made a huge change since the weight is
gone. Please feel free to share your success stories.
