Nervous and Excited

Hello everyone!

This is my first time to these boards, as I have just recently decided to have lap band. I have not even started the approval process yet, but I work for an insurance company and know it is relatively painless. I am scared, though. I'm 23, and have not been admitted to the hospital since I was born. I am also saving for the $3000 I will need to pay my deductible/coinsurance, and that's not easy. Hopefully this is the right thing for me. I look forward to everyone's support through my progress. Have a great day!

Hey!

Congradulations on your decision to go ahead with this. You will do great! I just had mine done on the 27th and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you with anything. Keep us posted on your progress and welcome to LBT.

Hugs....

Hi Alex my name is Jeremy. Im 22 and decided to have the surgery about 2 months ago. I have just started day 5 of the pre diet, which consist of 12 oz of pudding a day. My surgery is on the 15 of January. I though we might could keep in touch since we are so close in age.
