Hi, My name is Joanie and I'm scheduled for LapBand surgery 5-23-08. I'm currently on my pre-op diet and have been going to the gym. I'm very motivated but hope to keep it going after surgery. I'm a little nervous because I have to be cleared by my cardiologist with a stress test on Saturday. My reasons mainly to get the LapBand is to get off of alot of my medications. My BMI is 35 with a ton of co-morbidities. I'm also a nurse and know that I want to be an example to the patients and my co-workers.:thumbdown:

I think you will do great. Keep that motivation going.

I am so happy and proud for you that you are taking this life changing, somewhat scary, step for your health

Good luck in your weight loss journey.
