hi there folks,

My name's salena, I'm from the uk. I'm waiting for a surgery date, hopefully in the next 6 weeks. I'd like to get in touch with peeps in the same boat, so we can travel along this road in good company. Hope to hear from you soon....x:banana

You came to the right place. Tell us more about your self. Come post often okay!Good luck on getting your band!

Welcome Salena: Ask questions and do a search for a specific topic. Almost all have been covered by now on this board.

Good luck on your journey to weight loss.

After months of waiting, tomorrow I am having surgery! This is my first post, I finally feel like I belong here! I have been reading the threads the past few months, and I've learned a lot from all of you. Will let you know how I'm doing.

Keep reading the posts and I usually check the chat rooms after 11:00 p.m. (eastern standard time) each night.

Welcome! Lots of information on here if you take the time to read it all. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Thank you all for your kind welcome. What kind of surgeries are you, or have you had? I'm going to be having lap band surgery sometime in May, it's a scary ol' thing alright!! My main worry is hoe to deal with the whole surgery issue with regard to the children. Mine are 11 and 13. Does anyone have any advise? Many thanks
