This is a great forum, I really appreciated reading all your inspirational stories and helping me with my fear of this surgery. I have so many health issues and I really need to lose weight my PCP recommended this at first I was like H@@@ no but after a lot of research and reading all the information posted on this site I am super excited we are in the process of getting my surgery date, hopefully in April... Once again Thanks so much I feel so much better and calmer...

Welcome! You'll find lots of support here and many friends. No matter what you go through, someone here has been there.

Just make sure you have a good lapband surgeon and listen to them. Have a good line of communication with your lapband doctor and your nutritionist- and do what THEY tell you- not what others do and you will be fine.
