Hello to everyone! I have been reading the discussion boards and trying to learn all I can about how the lap-band surgery works for others and what to do/what not to do. I have learned a lot! I am waiting on insurance to approve my surgery and then I will schedule! I have appx 110 lbs to lose to get to my "ideal bodyweight." I have TONS of questions and would love to hear all the advise I can!!! My biggest struggle at this point is trying to get off Dr. Pepper's - I am truly addicted I think! Any advice?? Excited to be here!
