My projected surgery date is September 6th and I am TOO excited. I have already done my nutrition consult, psych eval & next month I do the EKG testing & stuff. The closer I draw to September I am overwhelmed in a good way. For the FIRST time in my life, I feel that it is possible to lead a healthy lifestyle with the lapband as a tool. Ive already lost 15 lbs in the past three months which I have NEVER been able to do. I really believe it is the motivation of moving forward with the lapband option since I have debated about it since 2004. Let's keep in touch!
