I am new to this site and started the process today for my Lap Band Surgery, I attended the required information session along with a visit to my primary doc. He was very supportive and gave me the green light and referals I needed to have my consultation with Dr. Wernsing. I chose to have the surgery at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia, they seem to have what I need to be succesful. I am feeling really anxious and a bit over whelmed with all of the information necessary to complete the Lap Band Surgery. . I am hoping for a great outcome, my goal is to lose 100 lbs.
