I'll be attending the first seminar on the 16th. Needless to say I'm more then excited! Growing up I was a stick. After having my son 28 years ago I've struggled with my weight since. I had a bad break up and list the weight. i recently remarried (#3) and gained all the weight back and more. I realize I am a emotional eater. I've gained 26 pound s since September 2012. My insurance covers the surgery. I've already called and checked my deductible and have selected the surgeon and hospital ill use. It has been very helpful reading your stories. Please give me advice and support. Thank you very much.

The LapBand Journey is a marathon and not a sprint. Be patient, yet persistent, and you too will succeed!

I went to my first seminar over two years ago and have attended two since. I will be banded on Monday.

I have my appointment with the surgeon on May 28th. I'm a little nervous. My insurance wants documented exercise program for the last 3 months. I did not attend consistently. I'm concerned they will prolong things because of that. Anyone have insight on this?
