I just wanted to drop a note of thanks. I had been working on getting approved for my band for over a year. I virtually gave up. I was given the green light right around Thanksgiving and was banded last week(12/21).

I did not know this site existed until a week or so before my surgery. I have scan this site from top to bottom. What a great too we have with lapbandtalk.com.

But to all the Dec 07 banders.....

I have read through your experiences and prepared mysef through them. I know we are all different and our bodies respond differently, but you ahve all helped me more than you know. Just by posting threads for me to read through.

Thanks again and I can'twaint to Dec 08 when we can all really claim our title of Merry Lousers!

Welcome RonKat! Keep us posted on how your surgery went.

Ron, Im so glad you finally got approved, gone through surgery, and now here to share this journey with us.

It helps others are going through the same things you are.

I also cant wait till next year, we all wont be as large and in charge as we are now.

Ron,

We are all here to gain strength from one another. I'm sure that your posts will inspire others who are new to the site and thinking of being banded. Make sure you keep us up to date with your progress.

Danna
