Kristi Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Good Morning, I just wanted to share my joy. My mom is getting banded. Yippee... She has been struggling with weight for years and wanted to get banded about 3 years ago and then someone talked her into Gastric Bypass and her Rheumatoid Arthritis doctor denied it and after the last 6+ months, she got her full approval through her insurance and her date is April 8th. I am so very excited. I am really praying that with weight-loss her RA won't be as extreme on her. I hate to see her that way because she is really such a vibrant person. I know it will not take away the pain, but I so would love it if it wasn't as bad as it is now. Well, I just wanted to share that. Hugs, Kristi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
