I've been sneeking in here about a week or so, peeking at info. and tips, and you all seem like wonderful people. I've all so picked up the name of a good Dr. here and have set up an apointment for thee initial seminar, in August, I've allready set my mind to this, one way or the other I'm going ALL the way. I have the support of my family, and my Dr., my insurance should not be to much of a problem. I just wanted to stop and say hi,,,,and I'll be around hopefully getting to know every one, and thanks for all the info I've allready gotten.

Welcome to Lapband land. Who have you selected for your band surgeon?

Terry :confused:

The name of the Dr. (that I saw on here) is Dr. Haag (SP?) though I still have not gone to the 1st seminar,, that is going to be Aug 3rd. So I'm still a ways out.
