Hello Everyone!! I was looking on the net and found this site and I am so happy that I did. I am a 53 year old woman that currently lives in El Paso. I am having my surgery done this tuesday the 16th and I am looking forward to it and to the help it is going to give me in a search for a new healtier life!! I am hoping that I will learn from all of you the things that I will be experiancing and mostly to know that I am not the only one that has done this proceedure.

Thank you all for being here.

Nancy:rolleyes2:

hi Nancy,

welcome to LBT and good luck on the 16th. :thumbs_up:

Being so close...are you being banded in the US or Mexico?

I am being banded in the US. I am being seen by a very good team of Doctors and I feel comfortable with all of them. Since I do not speak Spanish, I would have a terrible time with communication. *smile* besides, the lines going back an forth over the border are way too long for me to sit patiently in. *giggle* I am not that patient. :thumbs_up:
