Hello!

Am awaiting my WLS approval as I begin the that process. I have selected St. Vincent Charity Medical Center in Cleveland Ohio.

Dr. Aviv Ben-Meir will be my surgeon.

I did their web seminar and spoke with my patient advocate and have my initial Consult on Thursday, April 21.

Can't wait!!

Have started a blog www.workingtoloseit.com to record my journey towards a healthy me.

Hi Steve. Welcome to Lap Band Talk!

Hey Steve! Welcome aboard. There is a ton of information here, and lots of people with a world of experience with the band. Have a seat and join in the fun. It may all seem a bit daunting right now, but there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there, and go for it.

Good luck on your journey!

Hey Steve!!! Welcome to LBT!! I'm pretty new to this as well but already I have met so many great people and have read the highs, lows, ups, downs, ins, outs, of many peoples experiences. You will find a lot of advice from people as you need it. The more proactive you are here the better the experience so good luck and keep us posted on the progress!
