Welcome ! You will find support and a lot of info here ! Goodluck !

Hi Lance! My advice is to read everything you can. I got pseudo obsessive about reading everything here before I had my surgery.

Welcome and good luck on your weight loss journey! I just found these forums and have been reading, reading, reading! There is a wealth of knowledge here.

Hi lanee & Valerie welcome to the forum there is a lot of knowledge & support here

Hello from California and welcome to this great forum. Many stories,experiences and a wealth of knowledge is on this forum. Try to read as many topics as you can. You will get more personal one-in-one experiences than talking with your surgeon. Your journey begins by you becoming members of this forum

My band date is Aug 6, and I'm ready and very positive that this is a God sent procedure that I want to accept.

Best wishes to all...
