Hi and welcome! We are glad to have you join us.

I take it from your user name, you are a fan of jeeping? DH and I love to take our jeep out to the woods on the weekends and participate in some jeep clubs as well.

Hey jeepingirl! Welcome. Always glad to have a fellow Texan lurking around here :redface:

Welcome Jeep! I hope all of your pre-op appointments go well for you!

Hey JeepinGirl, I am also a patient of Dr Warnock. I have surgery tomorrow and when I feel up to it will try and come back and let you know how it went. Congrats on getting to see him. He is a very nice doctor. Good Luck!

Yes, welcome!! I have been over weight all my life too! I am sure if they made plus sized diapers, I probably had some! I am almost crippled by arthuritis and the lapband is my only choice. I have my first dr. appt. May 9th, I am scared, but I am also hoping this will make me feel like myself again! I live in Garland, TX, so good luck fellow Texan and keep us posted!!
