Hello Everyone, I live in Conyers, GA and originally from Decatur, GA. I am still in the pre-op stage of lapband surgery but I have my insurance approval and my last scheduled appt with my doctor on Friday, 09/11. I originally started with Dr. Hart thru True Results but they have doctors and staff associated with their office that aren't on my insurance plan. So, I had to change in mid stream and I am going with Dr. Steinberg at Dekalb Medical. I am so excited for getting to this point. I have been trying to decide on lapband since 2007 and this year in May I decided that this is the only way that I am going to lose weight and keep it off. I gain strength, inspiration and knowledge from those of you who have already been banded and share your journeys with us. Thank you to all and keep it going....
