Wow... I'm relieved to find this site, I've lurked for a bit. I'm having surgery this Thursday (7/29) and I've been a member of another site that encompasses all types of WLS. However, the more and more I read, the more negative it seemed towards LAP-BAND® and there was little to no moderation (of the ridiculous negativity), going into surgery, that is definitely not what I need right now.

Hmmm... A little about myself. 32, have two boy (9 and 5), married my HS sweetheart. I'm a financial business systems consultant. In my spare time, I love to read, I'm a music fanatic and spend a lot of time as a Moderator on a forum for women (I feel kind of goofy being at the Introduction stage of a board again). We love to camp and hike and our boys keep us insanely busy, so another reason I'm looking forward to surgery.

I think that is me in a nutshell! Hope to get some support and make some friends along the way!

Hi Twinkles! Welcome to LBT.

This is a great place for support and questions.

Best wishes for your surgery and a speedy recovery!

Thank you!

I'm definitely excited and can hardly contain myself at this point, but almost nervous enough to be a little queasy too!
