Hello Everyone. My name is Alie and I'm from New York. I official started my Lapband Journey on May 25th,2011. I attended a WLS Educational Seminar at Lenox Hill Hospital. My Surgeon is Dr. M. Roslin. I've already gotten all of my required documentation and medical work done (TSH, Upper GI, Nutritionist and Psychologist). As of June 09th, 2011, I am waiting for my surgery approval from my health insurance, HIP. I'm also on YouTube, as user msz_alie. I am excited and also anxious at the same time. I've started changing my eating habits and have lost 3 pounds in the first 15 days. I plan on taking all of the victories that I can, even if they are small!

You're off to a great start, Alie! I think you have to change your mind in order to change your body, so it's awesome that you are already starting to do that.

Thank you so much. My nerves are getting to me. i have to find things to distract me from this waiting game!
