Hi Debbie, I am new too. I had my surgery Dec. 17, everything went great. I have lost 14lbs in one week from the two day liquid dieting then 3days after surgery. I have learned alot from the website. The people are great and give great advice. I am excited for you. It will go well. My family thought it was a bit drastic too but know they are excited to see how I do. So I am determined to show them what I know I have underneath the fat!!!! Sonya

Hi NoMoreYoYo, I just joined this week too!!!! For the same reasons as you. My process was fast, I went to a seminar on 10/13, met the Dr. on 10/17, went for required test on 11/26 and scheduled for banding next Monday (Dec. 17; my BIRTHDAY!!!). This is my gift to myself and I am excited. It is going to be a life changing experience I am sure. But I look forward to the change. I have tried everything else. By the looks of everyone else's success. I think this was God sent!!!! I did want the gastro bypass, so I was hoping something else come along that I felt comfortable with and I think this is it. Well, I will start Monday after surgery posting my every move so you will know what to look forward to. Go luck........... We will do this!!!!!!! Sonya Starting weight----247.5 lbs Goal----------165 lbs Surgery Date---------12/17/07 Dr. Dewitt-------Birmingham, AL

I have to say I have enjoyed reading everyone's messages. I will have my lapband op next Monday, Dec. 17th. I decided to join this site because all of you. Keep it up. I will need it. Congrats to all of you, also.
