Well, I had my Lap Band Dr visit yesterday, and thanks to all of you I was very well informed about the pro's and con's, and how life will be as a bandster. 
I am greatful to all who answered my call for help when my Daughter was trying to talk me out of it. We have agreed to disagree, and all is well. I did purchase the book Lap Band For Life, and it was very informative. My DH came to the 4 hr Dr visit yesterday, and is supporting me 100%. I am going to Dr Noel Williams at the University of Penn. I have my cardiology appt today, and my sleep study and PFT next week. I am hoping I will have jumped trough all the mandatory hoops by the end of Oct, and get scheduled for surgery before the holidays. I am very determined to start this new way of life. I was wondering how you all put the design at the bottom of your page that shows your WL progress, I couldn't get my picture on either. I want to start my journey with your support, and would like to have all those things under my signature, it is so inspiring to see the wt loss. Thanks again!! God Bless, Jeanne
