Hello, I am new to this site. I will be attending a seminar tomorrow in Tacoma, Washington. I have a appointment set to meet with a surgeon on Monday Feburauy 6th. I have battled obesity(on a dr.diet at 3 weeks old) my entire life. I now can take the time for my self. I have much support from my family, but wish to have the support from others that have had the band or going to be banded soon. You all sound so positive and I am looking forward to joining the journey!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! So many of us have been, or are still in your shoes. Exicted, nervous, wondering if youre doing the right thing while convinced it's going to finally be an answer to prayers.

This really is a great group of people. Here you will find lots of caring support and answers to questions we have all had. I look forward to hearing about your journey.. but.. is there something we can call you besides de98338? *grins*

DeAnn would be fine to use ! thanks for responding ..
