Hello everyone,

I've been reading the boards for a month now - shhhhh don't tell my boss!

My insurance is approved and I am just waiting for the call from my Doctor to tell me my Band Date!! I'm very excited and looking forward to getting to know everyone. I am 43 - have three sons - 16, 14, and 8 - I have a wonderful happy life except for being over 300 pounds and tired all of the time. I've been a yo-yo'er since high school (a very long time ago) and can't wait to begin this journey. I start my pre-op diet on 12/26.

Welcome and Best of luck in your new journey! (I was over 300lbs when I started my journey!)

That's so exciting! Congratulations. If you're getting banded in January, we have a january bandsters thread at http://www.lapbandtalk.com/january-bandsters-t25717.html. It's cool that your insurance is covering it, i wish mine would...

cdgmom, You will love your lapband. Good luck to you. Happy Holidays

Welcome cdgmum

Its great that you have come out of 'hiding'. Congratulations on beginning your awesome journey...before too long you wont know yourself...keep us posted on your surgery date and progress. It is so inspiring and encouraging to hear of 'others' stories. Best Wishes
