My name is Amber and I am 32 years old. I have a son that is two and my partner and I have been together for 13 years. I have just started the LapBand process and am awaiting approval. I was approved a year and a half ago, but decided to give it one last try on my own and was unsuccessful. So I turned in all my paperwork and am starting the process again. I am anxious and excited and nervous all rolled into one. I look forward to this journey and look forward to making new LapBand buddies:)

Congratulations on the start of your journey Amber. What you are feeling is perfectly normal. I wish you much success. Don't give up because this is the best thing that could happen to you. If I had to do it over again I would do it in a heartbeat. Lapband has defiantly changed my life.

I too am new. My name is Susan and I am a 61 yr. old grandmother and mother of four whose "baby" just turned 18 and is leaving for college soon. I have tryed every diet in the world, however with only temporary success. I have been considering this procedure since it came out, but now am decidedly going for it!! I am self pay so the process is going pretty fast. Good luck to you!

Thank you for the replies! It is exciting just getting started and I love talking to others that are on the journey and to people that have already had it done to inspire me on my journey! Thanks for the encouragement!!!!

Hi Amber!

I'm a newbie, too. I sent you a friend request; I hope you accept!

I wish you luck and happiness!
