Hi, my name is Lucy and I'm from Mexico, I've been doing a lot of research about the band and I found this support group, and now I visit it everyday, I'm getting the lap-band as soon as I have the money, or until December of this year, I really need the support since I'm not telling my family only my mom and husband knows, my husband is concerned about the change and thinks I won't be able to recover from it, I know it's going to be hard but I know it's for the better and I know I can do it. If you guys have any advice please feel free to share
