I am new and just starting out. For me I wanted to become more educated and that is what this is for me. To learn thru others who have had good and bad experiences, I dont want someone to sugar coat things for me just the simple truth. I also would like to post my weight tracker on here as well.. unsure of how to do that yet.. perhaps someone could educate me on how to post it on my page.. thanks Julie

Hi everyone, my name is julie and i am 40 years of age and I just started the process. My seminar is april 23rd and I have alot of questions to ask them. Im sure many of you did as well. I am 214 lbs. my bmi is 40 and just found out that I have high cholesterol, so they are putting me on zocor. Did or does anyone have or did you have high cholesterol and did the lap band decrease your cholesterol? thanks.. Julie:sad_smile:

thank you very much... I have been reading reading reading... everyone is so positive which is so nice to see. A friend of a friend works at the hospital where I would have my procedure, she was most helpful as well.

Well I went to the doctor last week and I just started the process so I am sure I have a long road ahead of me. My name is julie and I am 40 and live in wisconsin. I currently am 214 lbs. and 5'1. I have like many went on numerous diets time and time again. I am uncertain if I am going to go this route yet, just researching all my options at this point. My doctor told me about an oral medication as well, I refused it was Alli and have had a few friends take that and all it did was make them have to use the bathroom alot. I dont feel like living my life there. Any info would be great. congrats to all of you who have been banded and are doing well in achieving your goals.
