I am a 36 year old mother of a one year old. I am expecting my band the last week of April. I am real excited and anxious. I am so ready to move some of this weight. I have ulcerative colitis and I have been on steroids for a while. I have gained a lot of weight the past year. I am currently off of the prednisone and I am feeling good. I know when I get some of the weight off I will feel even better. My sister had GB 28 mos ago and she has lost 160 lbs. I am very proud of her. I just wanted to tell everone HI!

Please pray for me.

Thanks:D

Welcome to lapband talk forum. Congrats on getting banded. You will do great. Julie

Welcome kkitchens! Your surgery date is fast approaching! It is an exciting and anxious time but it's well worth it. I am no where near my goal but I already feel so much better. The band has given me my life back! Sounds like your sister is doing great. Tell her good job for me! She has so much to be happy about! You will be joining her soon! Best of luck and keep us posted!

Hi Kkitchens!

Congrats on getting your surgery date! It will be here before you know it and you will be on your way to join your sister.

Hugs!
