Hi, I am new here. My name is Lainie and I live in Mississippi......right outside of New Orleans.

I have attended the seminar for the lap-band procedure and I have my first appointment with the surgeon on Monday. I am very nervous and very excited. Wish me luck!

Welcome, Lainie!!! I'm not banded yet either, but I can promise that you will learn so much from this forum. It's just awesome!!!

Welcome to the journey! Being nervous is very normal. Research all you can to know what you need. Read lots and ask lots of questions.
