Newbie here

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!
