Hi everyone

I am new here..joined yesterday and just getting used to navigating this site..thanks to the creator of this site...My lap band surgery is on 11/11 with Dr Ren in NYC...Am very confident in her and the procedure but it's all such a whirlwind...It's like I'm getting this much needed help to regain control of my life...Life is real good...great family ..wife ..2 kids..11 and 14...good job..all with issues but that's life..It's so wonderful to have this opportunity to get healthy and i just won't fail...Of course a little doubt but it won't get the best of me...I'm 49..weighed 302.5 yesterday..298.5 after 1 day on liquids ( I ate alot the last day) and I can't wait to get going..I gained over 120 lbs since age 21 and I want to get back to near that point...I really want to be healthy and be able to give more to my family...Food really weighs you down in so many weighs...

Anhyway..just wanted to say hi and would love to share experiences with fellow bandsters...

Welcome to the group. Congratulations on your surgery. Dr. Ren is supposed to be one of the best. I believe she and her partner Dr. Fielding speak at all the training sessions that Inamed has for doctors in our area.
