Hi All! I've reading over the posts for the past week or so, but have never posted. I have decided to get the Lab Band. I am attending the seminar on Wednesday night and making my surgeon appointment then too. I am SO excited but SO scared! I really want to do this, I really NEED to do this, then why am I so darn nervous? I've never had surgery (except for a C-Section) and I was never under anesthesia, and that's what is making me nervous. Any suggestions on getting over this feeling?

That's great! Congrats on your weight loss!

You did GREAT Alfie! Thanks for the support!

That's the 1st step...you did AWESOME!! It's only up from here!! Good luck!

Thanks Beanqueen!! You're an inspiration!

Momof321, I am not that afraid of losing weight as much as the surgery itself. I know when I put my mind to it, I will be able to do it. I want it that bad!! I know it's a long journey though and will not be easy, but I'm ready to try!

Does anyone have any NJ doctor recommendations? I'm attending a seminar with Lap-Associates in Hackensack, NJ tomorrow. Any comments??

Good luck to you!! North or South doesn't matter. Keep me posted!

Good luck to you too Disney!!

That's great..good for you! I hope I can be as successful as you and I begin my journey! Keep up the good work!:scared2:

Alexis, The main reason is that the older I get, the more weight I'm gaining. I've done WW, Jenny Craig and EVERY diet and diet pill on the market. I'm ready to make a life long change & start feeling better mentally & physically. I need some self-esteem! We'll do this together!! :scared2:

Congrats on your surgery day!! Good luck..you will do awesone!!:smile2:

Thanks for the encouragement..I need it & so much more :smile2:! Alexis, I'm in New Jersey but would LOVE to buddy up with you through this process. I know we CAN do it! I know once ot's over I'll be fine & i definitely know it will be be worth it...it's the waiting & anticipaion that stinks. Good luck!!:biggrin2:
