Hi! Im a new member and I'm a RN. I'm having lapband surgery on May 13. I'm a little nervous! Looking to make new friends to chat with and share experiences

Welcome and good luck. The band is the best thing I ever did and I hope you will feel the same way. This site is amazing and a life saver, my words. People ask the best and silliest and just weird questions and we all support each other and it's great. Just remember the band is a tool and you have to work with it for it to work. Some people try to challenge the band but why have surgery if you are going to be like that. Follow your doctor and dietitian's rules and you will do great. Each one has their own ways of doing things.

Congrats Angelface and welcome to this site. I've been banded since January 14th and the folks on this forum have been a great source of info and inspiration. Don't worry about being nervous...it's perfectly normal.

Welcome and good luck. As questions and usually someone has an answer or suggestion.

Welcome. I have learned so much here as well been able to feel supported. Good luck.

Welcome!! Nervous? Yep, pretty normal and i would be surprised if you weren't! The band is life changing if you work with it and you won't regret it. Keep your goals realistic and enjoy every little loss (gain in other ways!!)

Thanks! I start my preop diet Monday! Surgery May 13
