Hello Everyone,

Glad to have found this site! I am been pursing the lapband since November 2006. I should have my surgery date within two weeks. I feel I have jumped through a lot of hurdles to get here. I guess it was worth the wait, the surgeon I have told me that just last week he was authorized to use a "new lapband" that produces even greater weightloss results. I guess he is just one of six surgeons in the US able to use it. So I am happy about that.:clap2:

I look forward to hearing all your stories and enjoying the challenges and triumphs of the lapband.

Welcome! Do you have a surgery date yet?

I just got my date yesterday. It will be on July 20th. I will have to go on a five day fast before the surgery and then I plan on taking some time off. I really want to devote my time to encorporating new habits into my new life style.

Hello, Would you mind sharing who your surgeon is?

Thanks!

Good for you. How exciting. I've been banded for a year and I'm so happy with my band. Congrats and good luck. I live in Northern, CA.
