Hello everyone! I have been looking at this forum for the past few weeks and decided to join for some support. I am having my lap band done this Friday, January 12th. A little nervouse, but mostly excited!. I've been overweight all my life and now, at 52, starting to have several health problems that my doctor tells me getting the weight off will cure. Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides.
I'm looking for information and help to get through this procedure and do it the right way. Started on the pre-op Clear liquids last Saturday and not having as much trouble as I expected with it..... I hope that's because I'm motivated and want this so much.
I'm not particuarly computer skilled, so I've had a little trouble finding my way around this forum. Hope to meet lots of people that can lead me on this journey.
Would also like to hear from anyone on the east side of the Dallas metroplex (Mesquite, Sunnyvale, Forney) that might have a support group that is walking/exercising together.
