We've got some gastric banding patients among us, and I'm sure they'll be happy to chip in. GB patients have different needs than the usual RNY patients. Pam in Niceville _____ Hello, I just joined the group and would like to inrtroduce myself. My name is Alke, I am 35, mother of a wonderful daughter of 5 years and wife of a wonderful husband. I live in southern Germany and received <!--more--> a gastric banding in January. When I decided to habe the GB done I had a BMI of 50 (with 134kg). So far all is well, I could have lost a bit more weihgt but I guess 5kg in 3 weeks is ok since I lost 10kg preOP. I am part of a lokal group whick meets once a month and am seeking to found a new group with more focus on more professional information in medical and nutrician topics. Ok, that are the basic facts, I'm looking forward to lots of information and more. Alke _____ Hi, Alke, welcome to the group. We’ve got some gastric banding

Hopefully your insurance will not deny you. But if they do, DON'T give up! I was denied twice and then approved after appeals. I had WLS in July of 2003 and have lost 82 pounds. I feel great! This was the best decision for me. Good Luck to you and do not get discouraged. Jan Welcome Bryan-
