Lap Band surgery in 2 days

Good morning, all! I've been lurking for a couple of days, but wanted to introduce myself. My name is Alan Simmons. I'm 44 and about to be banded Wednesday. I've enjoyed reading the success stories on here and I love the way you guys support and encourage each other. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and joining you in this new lifestyle!

Welcome to the Forum, Alan. All the best to you in your surgery on Wed. Please keep us posted. This community has been very helpful to me. I am planning for surgery in October sometime.

Thanks, Stan! I just might take you up on that. I see lots of questions coming. :)

I've had a ton of questions already, and still have more coming, and am lucky enough to have guys that answer them honestly. they have been a HUGE help.

Fire away!!
