Hi! I'm new here and I've been lurking, reading posts and I finally decided to post myself. I am a self pay future band member- that's what I like to call myself. I have a date of 7/14/06- Its only a month away. I am nervous, anxious, excited, etc....lots of emotions.

I was actually wondering if anyone here was in Maryland and if you've had Dr. Moen (can't spell out his full name-too long!) from GBMC?

Also, any words of wisdom or hints are definitely welcome!

Thanks!

Kathy:)

Hiya Kathy, welcome to the forum. Hmmmmmm, words of wisdom????? Hints????? Don't eat yellow snow or anything green and fuzzy from the refrigerator.... How's that? *grin*

Just ask questions and you'll get answers. Do you homework! All of it! Follow your doc's instructions...and lose a buttfull. LOL

Hi Kathy,

Welcome to LBT! I'm in Idaho so I can't help you with info on your doctor.

Good luck with your surgery and keep us posted.

Hi Everyone I'm new here too. My surgery is set for June 20th..... Yes, only 2 weeks away!!!! I'm in Nebraska. Dr McBride is my surgeon. She came very highly recommended. I'm somewhat nervous, but excited about the future. It will be challenging at times I'm sure,but I'm ready. I like the weightloss charts some of you have. Can't wait to get mine started!
