Hello everyone!

I finally decided to register here so I could participate. I have been reading so many threads and posts here trying to get as much information as I can. I really appreciate everyone who posts here.

I have my surgery scheduled for Dec. 19th in Mexico with Dr. Rumbaut. I'm on day 6 of my liquid diet and craving a salad with chicken so badly. And to think I have two more weeks of this after surgery??? I hope it gets easier after surgery.

I want one of those cool weight loss trackers a lot of people have, but haven't figured it out yet. I'll keep looking. :grouphug:

I am scheduled for February 9th with Dr Ortiz at that time you will home free and I will starting my misery. The tickers are pretty easy and free just go to your favorite ticker sight look at the bottom of the one you like and follow the directions, they walk you though it.

Welcome to LBT Maurdan

Great to see you here...i have had my lapband for over a year...and although it has taken a bit of sacrifice...ie not being able to eat huge christmas dinners...I do not regret it for the world! I have lost 84lb so far. Best wishes for your surgery...and keep us updated on your progress.

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I needed them today because I started to second guess my decision. I leave tomorrow for Mexico.
