Mass bandit!

Hi everyone! I have been lurking on this board for many months, well since Jan when I first deiced I would start the LAP-BAND® process. I started at around 260 (wow I never tell anyone this) And have lost 15 pounds for my pre operation goal.

My name is Makala and I'm 20 years old from Mass. I have been doing this process and FINALLY 5 months later I have a surgery date of July 26th =)

I must say if it wasn't for this board I would be nowhere as ready for this surgery as I am.

I look forward to talking to all of you, and good luck to everyone! :)

    I had gone to the Lowell Seminar but due to their "program fee" I decided to go to Lahey.
