I am new to the site today but saw your post and had to reply. I live in Poolesville, MD in Montgomery County. I haven't had the procedure yet but I am meeting with Dr. Barry Greene next week to get things rolling. If you've had the procedure, I would love to hear about it! How have things gone for you? My name is Sarah, I am 39 years old, married with a 6 year old daughter. I am an attorney and have a pretty fulfilling life, with one big (no pun intended) exception. I am looking forward to taking control of my body. Would love to hear form you, Sarah

I just joined this site and read your message. I too am a supersized girl. I haven't had the surgery yet but I am planning on it by February of next year. Would love to hear your thoughts on any special challenges I can expect. I stare down a 150+ weight loss. Look forward to hearing from you, Sarah

My name is Sarah. I am in the early stages of a lap band "change of life." I have found a doctor, I have been to an informational meeting, and have my first appt. with the Dr. next week. It is at that meeting that I will get a comprehensive physical, and a better sense of the timeframe for this procdure. I have been obese for 17 years now and have reached the end of my rope. I think kicking my food addiction is going to be tough, but I also feel ready to change my life. I feel like a prisoner in my own body. I have several herniated discs in my neck and lumbar spine and my excess body weight is making matters chronic. I am 39, live in Maryland, am married to a great guy, have a wonderful 6 year old daughter, practice law and generally have a really good life. My weight is the one last bastion of dysfunction that I can't seem to get a handle on. I have tried diets, walking 5 days per week. I can never seem to lose more than 30lbs. I would love to hear from people about their experience and what to expect. I am scared of some of the potential side effects. Look forward to getting support here. Sarah:)

I just joined this website too! Your entry caught my eye because I also live in the DC area. I am a mommy of one, have a great husband and a great career as well. I live in Poolesville, MD and would love to hear from you. I don't have surgery scheduled yet, but I am hoping by February with Dr. Barry Greene. My name is Sarah, my email is hecandsarahsdesk@verizon.net. I hope to hear from you soon!
