Hi!
I'm new to this site and I'm going to be banded within the next month. I have done all my pre-op exams and tests and now i'm waiting to schedule sugery! I'm anxious and nervous and excited all at the same time. I've even started having dreams about the surgery and life after!
I'm 25 and have been overweight my entire life, except for a brief 2 years in high school in which I starved myself to fit into social pressures. I ended up addicted to diet pills, and gained the weight back 10-fold. After years of the diet roller-coaster, my parents suggested I look into the lap band procedure, and well, here I am!
I'm looking to talk to some people who have a similar situation as me, or just someone who can listen to me vent occiasionally.
I look forward to the journey with all of you!
