Hi Tanya, I'm from Oneonta. I go in for my first info meeting in Cooperstown on Tuesday. I'm nervous, anxious, excited. I would live to hear about your experience!

I'm from Oneonta too! I go to my info meeting (first step) on Tuesday. How do you like the lap band?

I've found the lapband to be a fabulous tool that's led me on a successful path. That being said, there's three parts to success...

1. The band as a tool

2. Reframing my mindset

3. Exercise....yes...it's a must!

I won't be able to make the next meeting as I'm committed to teaching a Zumba class that night, but hopefully next month I'll be there.
