hi everyone

well i am jumping off the high diving board. this has been whirlwind.... well not completely.

i started investigating lapband 5 years ago when i lived in ny and decided against it. 5 years later, many diets later and still at the same weight (248 lbs)...my brother suggested i think about lap band again after seeing a special on the health channel.

well after getting great advise from you guys on this website...i went to dr. spivak's seminar tonight and am having surgery friday. (i'm self pay)

so i'm excited and scared.

my sister in law (an RN) came with me and is already telling me i have to get up immediately and walk (ughhhh-ha!)

anyway i was going to join the april 2007 bandsters but i guess i'm in march bandsters.

anyway i will keep you posted
