Starting My Journey

Hi all,

I am new to the world of lap band and am looking for some support. :) I've been lurking here for about a year and have learned so much about the band from reading your experiences.

I am 22, from MN. I started this process 6 months ago... My insurance required a 6 month medically supervised diet. Ive lost 30 lbs since then and I have my final nutritionist appointment on the 27th. I am so ready to submit, meet with my surgeon and get my surgery date. It's been a long road but now that it's becoming *real* I am a complete nervous wreck (excited too).
