Hello everyone! I am somewhat new to forums. I joined some time ago but this is my first actual introduction post. I am very excited to start my journey for lapband! I am very certain that this is the type of surgery that I want. I will be attending a seminar by the beginning of next month and can not wait! That will be my first step to getting this party on the roll. My insurance is BCBS of Delaware and I will have a 6 month structured diet program to follow, so while doing that I plan to stay busy and keep researching and browsing blogs that talk about their experience with the band. It will keep me motivated in this wait! I can not wait!!!!!

Welcome! I am pretty new too and havent been banded yet. I have to see my dr tomorrow to discuss it. I have learned ton while here and also from videos on You tube. You should check them out. Best of luck to you.

Hey guys just wanted to welcome both of you. I haven't been banned yet but I'm hoping to get a surgery date within the next 2 weeks. It's been a long process (almost 4 months since seminar) so prepare yourself and don't get discouraged. Good Luck!

@ Tanya- thanks for the advice about youtube.. I will look that up right now.

@ Amanda1982- I know it will probobly be a long process.. Im just going to ride it out because my insurance has the 6 months of controlled diet program... (yuck) but I figure it will help me.

@ Kimma34- I have the support of my husband and mother.. other than that I am doing this on my own. I choose not to tell anyone for possible ridicule or judgement and I really dont need it at this point. I just want to be happy with my decision and need positive people around. So I will be doing what you are too and coming here for encouragement. There is lots to be found on here.

I wish us all good luck!! We are gonna look HAAAWT!!
