Hi everyone. My name is Shelli and i just started on this journey. I went to a seminar just this past Tuesday. I've been thinking about it for awhile and have a friend who has had it done. I'm not 100% sure this is the right path for me BUT I will be making my decision within the week. Yesterday I googled LapBand and found this site and i have to tell you that after reading some of the posts as a guest..everything has been very educational..the more I read about it the more i feel that this is right for me.

i hope everyone is having a wonderful day or night (depending on when you are reading this) :-)

Hi Shelli! I am new on here also I found this site this week and it has lots of great info and verrrry kind lap banders who are willing to share their stories.

I peeked at your profile and see that we are the same age at 35 years young, I am 99.9% sure that this is the right decision for me. I have been up and down the scale so many times, I am ready for a life change I have 3 months left of nutritionist appointments (as required by my insurance). I am hoping to have my surgery by the end of the year... I would love to hear how your journey goes. Keep in touch!

Sabrina
