Okay, I joined this site back in september of last year after doing months of due diligence. I've learned more in the past year about lap bands than I ever thought possible. Well, I finally went to a seminar, met with a surgeon and now have my procedure date set. Friday, March 26th 2010. 4 weeks to go and I'm really excited. I cannot wait to shed this weight. These past five years I have been packing it on and now I'm ready to be start my new life. I have fought with my weight my entire life and realize that for some people diets alone just don't work. I've lost and regained so many times over the years. Now, I just want to lose it, and for good.

Can't wait to start posting my progress!!!

Congrats on your decision and on being fully informed before going through with it!

Good for you on making your decision. I too took a long time to research, study and contemplate this huge lifestyle decision. I feel the more informed you are the more prepared and sucessful you will be in the long run. It is an exciting experience. I was banded 2/25/10 and so far so good and it is/will be the best thing i have done for myself.
