Great job I think 17 lbs is great. It's a start.

My band date is Jan 22 and I can't wait. My goal is to lose 100 lbs in 2013.

That's why they call it Furr-niture LOL

I made the mistake of looking up lap band failures right after I was approved. Almost talked my way right out of it. The more I read the more am convinced most complications are because people did not follow orders. I think if a person is really ready to make the changes needed they will be fine. My surgery is scheduled for January 22 and I can't wait.

We better be able too. One of my biggest motivators to losing weight is to be able to ride any ride I want.

Way to go. It is stuff like this us newbies need to see.

I have told everybody. I don't care what they think. I know this is the best choice for me. My surgery date is Jan 22.

To me you are winning cause you are listening to your body and doing something about it. To be a loser would be not asking for that fill and overeating.

I am going to buy some baby spoons to use at first.

I am having Surgery Jan 22 and my goal is to lose my first 100 pound in 2013.

All right!! Just got my surgery date today also. Jan 22

Hi my name is Corky I am 46 years old on Dec 19 my surgeons nurse called to say NE medicaid had approved my lap band surgery. I will know my surgery date on Jan 3rd. Can't be soon enough I am so ready for this. I currently weigh around 340 lbs. I have been overweight all my life. I have stage 2 or 3 COPD (depends what Dr you talk to) so losing weight is even more crucial now then ever. I have been on diets and failed since 3rd grade. I have lost as much as 70 lbs just to gain it back. I have been on this site daily since the day I found it was approved and am really glad it is here. Looking forward to my new life.
