Hello Lapband Friends,

My name is Meshia and I will be banded on the 14th. I am excited and a little nervous which I assume is to be expected. I have struggled with being overweight for as long as I can remember. My paternal side of the family are all obese.That is my fear and motivation to get the band. I am a foster mother of two beautiful little girls and I want to be around for them for a long time.

Meshia:whoo:

Hi Meshia, you are totally right your life will never be the same again, congratulations for your decision, it has been the greatest experience of my life, ive been banded for 7 months now, ive lost 104 pounds, good luck

I'm excited for you!!! What an awesome place to be at...the beginning of HOPE.

THE best to you!

Congratulations!! I've been banded a big 5 days and am already happy with my decision to do this. You will be very happy
