Hello everyone,

I am a Lucky 7 too. My surgery is on July 16 and I am very excited. I really enjoy this website and have learned so much from everyone. The support is fantastic.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post. I have been visiting the site for months since I began my journey last fall. I am due to be banded on July 16. I have my last visit with my doctor on June 26 and then start the pre op diet on July 2. By the way, I forgot to mention that I am 59. I have been overweight all my life and have several co-morbidites. I want to take charge of my life again before I turn the big 60. I know that it will be a long journey since I have over 100 lbs to lose. I am looking forward to this new chapter of my life and have a very supportive family. I find this site extremely helpful and eveyone is so supportive. Their positive attitudes and encouragement has been very comforting for this "old fart". I will defnitely check out the "over 50" thread. Best wishes to everyone who is taking this journey.
