My name is Amy and my plan is to have the Lap Band surgery. I am 44 years old. I have four children, three of whom are grown and out of the house and one still at home and have been married for 15 years. My process started on April 3 with my first visit. Then I had a follow up visit with the Doctor (Greenville, PA, Dr. Myers). Today is my first nutrition visit. According to my insurance i have to have seven nutrition visitis. Wish it wasn't such a long drawn process, but Im ready for the journey!:w00t:

Hi Amy,

Well, you've made the first steps. This site is very helpful. Welcome and I look forward to your posts.

My surgery is coming up soon. But from 1st thought to now is almost 4 years.

Good Luck,

Carol D'

I know what you mean Amy. I started this whole process back last October. But, my surgery is finally right around the corner- June 2nd! Good luck in your journey!

I know the feeling Amy. You make the decision to have it done and then there's the wait. Trust me..it flies! :laugh: I started the process in October and was banded May 13. It's a long journey, but it'll go fast! Good luck!
