Hi Everyone, I've just signed up for this site today.

I am from New Zealand, but have been teaching/living in South Korea since 2006. I've found a specialist hospital here in Seoul, and am having my surgery THIS Saturday - May 21st!

I'm very excited to get started. No one back home other than my brother know's I am having the surgery done this month (they think I'm saving to have it done in NZ next year).

I'm really looking forward to stepping off the plane in a year or so, and showing off the new me!

I look forward to making new friends on here, to support, and share this journey with.

Have a great week all!

Gordana

Hi Gordana,

Welcome to LBT. You will find a wealth of information and nice people here. There are many different perspectives and experiences with the band. But, let your experience be your experience. My family has not seen me as well. I sent some pictures via Facebook for mother's day but they have not seen my 123 pound loss in person. I can't wait to step off the plane in December. I want to lose 30 more pounds to be at goal by then. I live in Germany and will go home to the States for Christmas. I wish you much success on your journey.

Hello to you!!! Welcome to lap band talk!!!! Good luck on your weight loss!
