Hi, My name is Vicki and I am from Minnesota, I hope to make a few friend on here. I will be getting the lap band on August 18th 2008. I am getting kinda of scared and excited at the same time. :confused2: Just hoping I am doing the right thing...

Hi vicky July 29th for me! scared n excited too! good luck with your endeavors! debbie:thumbup::laugh::lol::thumbup::thumbs_up::drool:

I promise you that you will not regret your decision for one minute. And besides, your band is on my birthday so I know you will be fine. Good luck with everything.

:thumbs_up:I'm from Lino Lakes and had my band put on April 10, 2008. I've lost a total of 93 pounds! Well....that was 55 pre surgery and 38 since surgery. I started last November to lose weight and change my bad eating habits and lack of exercise. You are making a GREAT decision! Good luck to you! Just have a positive attitude and you will succeed!! Keep me posted! I'm excited for you!
