I am new here and hoping to be able to talk to others that might be going through the same things I am! I am so excited that I went through with my lap-band surgery, it was the best life changing decision that I have ever made! I want to be around for my family and be able to live life like I used to without this weight hanging around me!

I am new here also. You are an inspiration to me. I look forward to reading/learning more about you.

Welcome, Sonia. The forums here are a great place to share ups and downs, look for advice, get support, and just hang out. Everyone either has been through what you have, or is gearing up to go through it soon. Congratulations on your surgery! With the great attitude you've expressed, I'm sure you'll have great success.

Thank you both so much, I have never been one to do support groups or ask for help, but my husband talked me into this and I am glad he did!!!! I am looking up some things that I have questions about and hope to get some answers. Everything is very new and I am still just trying to figure out what my new tummy is telling me!!!

welcome!!!!! i was just banded on the 15th! i have found this site to be absolutely amazing:) it is so inspiring reading all the stories, learning, and sharing my own...
