Starting lap-band process

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!

    Hi Lainie,

    Welcome to this wonderful place. I have learned a lot here. I am not banded yet. I just finished all my testing and will hopefully get a surgery date this week.

    Good luck
