Hi, I am obviously new here. I hadnt considered lap band seriously until a few months ago, and due to some recent events in my life I have decided to go for it. I had my initial consult at OSUMC here in Columbus. That went well, I have my psych and sleep study appointments set up. Hopefully I will only need the 3 months of classes and with no snags, I hope to have surgery around my birthday in February.

Looking forward to reading more here.

Good luck to you. You have plenty of time then to gather tons of info here. I wish I would have found these forums preop too. Good place to get a lot of questions answered. I haven't needed to call my doctor at all yet.
