Hello everyone, I must admit, I've been evesdropping for weeks now, make that months....and finally a doctor in my area is starting to do Lap-Band. Guess who his first patient is.....that's right ME! The kicker is I get 2 doctors for the price of one, (a Lap-Band specialist is flying in from another city to assist), although, I think I'm PAYING for 10, LOL.

Like I said I've been following all the band sites for a while, and I'm so excited. I won't even go into the I've been fighting weight all my life, bla bla bla. Thanks to everyone for all the insite, except for those few who scare me with their weight gain and pb's, lol....Wish me luck!

Welcome Nana! Don't be too afraid. The band is a wonderful tool, but it's still life ever-after. Some folks have some minor complications, setbacks, etc, but most are able to move through those and do what they set out to do which is re-gain their lives with better health, etc. Good luck to you!

Why were you rebanded if you don't mind answering? Thanks for the encouraging words.

Congratulations and best of luck to you! Harleys and internet junkie? You'll find lots of both here. As well as fellow Bandsters!

Congrats HarleyNana! Good luck with your surgery! Hey, what's with all the Harley's on this board???? LOL, I'm starting to wonder if I am missing something!
