Im new here and new to this LAP-BAND® idea. I had a class with the doc last night and I have my physical scheduled with my family doc. Waiting to hear when I have pre op appointment with surgeon. Dh is nervous for me and isn't sure it will help. I feel like I need to do this.

I'm 4 years out and mainitaining my normal, healthy weight for over 2 years. I love banded living; it helped me find this normal, strong healthy body to live the rest of my life in. For that, I'm very grateful and so I spend a lot of time paying it forward.

It is really common for those closest to us to be really nervous. Are you planing on bringing your husband to your appointment? I did an interview with my long-term mentor about the 7 Things We Wish Someone Told Us Before Lap Band surgery. One of those things was don't underestimate the impact of your surgery on those closest to you. To get the interview, you can follow this link. Banded Living Audios & Videos Currently Available
