Hi all! I am a 38 yearold female, I am married and have two boys. My semminar date is July 8th. I tried to get one berfore that date but they are all filled up. : I wish to have the lap band. I am 184 lbs over weight. I have been thinking of getting this done for sometime. I have allways been overweight. I am looking forwaward to being at a healthy weight.:tongue:

Good luck to you in your journey from another Washington State Mom - of 2 girls to chase instead of 2 boys. I hope things go smooth and you get the information you need.

And speaking of chasing, I had to run down the hill with them today to make it to the bus on time this morning. Luckily it was the last day of school. And I think I might need to shop for a few new pants since I almost lost mine on the way to the bus stop...

I have been able to steadily lose weight with the band. I have been nervous about some of the things I had read here - like food getting stuck and vomiting. So I have not filled my band yet. But just know it is there has helped me change my habits significantly. And there is a lot of good information here and through most offices about how to best work with the band.

Again, I wish you lots of luck with your journey.

The road to surgery for some can be a trying time but it is very rewarding :tongue:
