I've been lurking around here for a few days now, and have finally decided to introduce myself. I am 20 years old and am scheduled to attend a seminar on August 24th. I am excited and SCARED all at the same time. I am so glad to read everyone's experiences and how positive they are. I have been overweigt almost all my life, and am at the heavisest I have ever been!!! Anyway, I can't wait to get to know everyone better! :wave:

Hey Alabama, Welcome from Texas. Glad to hear you are going to a seminar and thinking about the band. If you will work with the band it is an amazing tool. Good luck to you.

Hey SallyJo,

It's nice to meet you. This is a great resource for any questions or concerns you might have. No matter what you are wondering, I'll bet someone else has already "been there, done that". Heck, we're always here for you even if you just want to talk. Take care. Good luck.

Welcome to LBT! Good luck!

HEY girl , i'm rjb and i have struggled with my weight all my life also and i made up my mind that i had enough. I have never had any surguries before and i'm scared to death. My surgery is AUG 24th, but i know when the weight starts to come off it will be well worth it. Congrats on being brave enough to start to change your life. RJB:clap2:

Welcome! Don't worry fear is normal! Welcome to LBT it is a fantastic place to ask anything, and everything!

Nervous is normal. Just hang in there and soon you will be in bandland.
