Hello from a Newbie!!!

Hi all,

Just found this site while scoping out the internet for info on lap-bands. A friend of mine had hers done back in May and is doing great.

I had always sworn that I would NEVER EVER EVER go under the knife, especially for a weight loss surgery. But I'm at the end of my rope and don't know what else to do.

I have tried Weight Watchers a BAZILLION times and have gained weight while on it several times :D I've tried "dieting" on my own to no avail, I've been on pills from my DR. but nothing has worked.

I've been trying to soak up as much info as I can on lap-banding (preferably from people who have had it done). I'd love to hear all about the positives and negatives that come with this procedure. And I guess the best way to get that info is to read this forum.

I can't wait to get started!!!

Thanks, Pam
